We masterbatch to a Pantone reference or to a physical chip you send, and we shoot a colour plaque for approval before the production run. Pre-coloured compound avoids the batch variation you get from dry-blending.<\/p>\n<h3>Is ABS suitable for outdoor use?<\/h3>\n<p>Only with a UV-stabilised grade, and even then it will chalk over several years. For permanent outdoor exposure we normally steer the part to ASA, which keeps the same processing window and appearance but resists UV far better.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Related materials<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"related\">\n<li><a href=\"\/pt\/pc-injection-molding\/\">PC Injection Molding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/pt\/pp-injection-molding\/\">PP Injection Molding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/pt\/pe-injection-molding\/\">PE Injection Molding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/pt\/nylon-pa-injection-molding\/\">Nylon Injection Molding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/pt\/pom-acetal-injection-molding\/\">POM Injection Molding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/pt\/acrylic-pmma-injection-molding\/\">PMMA Acrylic Injection Molding<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/pt\/injection-molding\/\">\u2190 All Injection Molding Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<h2>Send us your ABS drawing<\/h2>\n<p>Upload a 3D model or a 2D drawing and we will come back with a DFM review, a tooling cost and a piece price \u2014 usually within two working days.<\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"btn\" href=\"\/pt\/contacto\/\">Request a quote<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABS is the workhorse of cosmetic moulding.
