Why is ABS plastic such a common choice for electronic enclosures, and is it right for your application? Read more below to learn about Polycase’s ABS box enclosures and their wide variety of uses.

Properties of ABS Enclosures

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, commonly known as ABS plastic, is among the most common electrical enclosure materials. ABS is popular for its many useful properties, which include:

• Highly cost-effective

• Hard and durable

• Easy to customize through CNC machining

• Flame retardant

• Available in numerous styles

These properties make ABS case enclosures a standard choice for applications such as DIY projects, desktop electronics, device prototyping, and handheld devices. They’re also sufficiently sturdy for use as indoor electrical junction box enclosures in most applications. However, ABS is generally not recommended for outdoor enclosures or extreme heavy-duty indoor applications.
