How
to distinguish between ABS and PP products
We
all know that the cost of ABS material is much higher than PP materials, many
small and under-qualified companies had
used PP material products pretending as ABS products. Today Photon Plastic
shares the differences between ABS products and PP products.
The
ABS plastic covers the PP plastic component. The PP only has polypropylene, PP
plastic is suitable for producing decay-resistance locker, which is made to
store chemical reagents. However, the ABS plastic lockers is widely used as
office lockers, sauna lockers, etc.
The specific distinction is as follows:
Incision
ABS
lathe cuts shows white, PP lathe cuts shows dark black or yellow.
Burning
odor
ABS
products have a faint sweetness when burned, but PP products have a distinct
chemical taste.
Smoothness
After
painted, the surface of ABS locker is bright and smooth. On the other side, the
color of PP locker is monotonous and feels astringent.
Weight
& Hardness
In
the case of the same product, the PP material is lighter than the ABS, the ABS
hardness is firm, and the PP material is brittle.
Usage
ABS
lockers will not be deformed and faded, while PP lockers will be deformed and
easy to damage after using for a long time.
