The basic material of a product is essential because it will be used to support the entire product quality. Thus, we need to use high-quality material, as well as medical devices material. Some medical devices utilize ABS plastic material as a building material.
Different from the usual plastic material, ABS plastic material is more solid, so it is not easy to slack during use. Then, what are the other advantages of using ABS plastic? Let’s discuss.
Discover More about ABS Plastic Material
ABS or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a thermoplastic polymer with more polymer. Just as how it is called ABS, the material is built up from three types of monomer acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, the material has already been used since 1940. ABS plastic material is commonly used as daily basis devices’ basic material.
ABS is an armor polymer so that it has a high melting point. The polymer of ABS could change its physical shape from solid to elastic (formable) or glass transition temperature at approximately 105 Celcius degrees. Because of that, ABS is quite resistant to high temperatures and is commonly used as automotive device material such as wheel covers.
Even though it is resistant to high temperatures, ABS is not resistant to ultraviolet rays. Thus, devices with ABS plastic material should not be left for too long under the sun’s rays.
ABS Plastic Material Advantages
We could discover the advantages of ABS plastic from its build-up materials. As mentioned before, ABS plastic is made of three types of monomers. Each monomer has a significant role to upgrade ABS plastic quality. Here is the role of each monomer:
- Acrylonitrile is resistant to other compounds’ chemical exposure, it could also make ABS plastic material tend to be massive or solid.
- Butadiene is flexible and solid so it could add the tenacity element to ABS plastic so that it is not easily shattered when slammed or bumped.
- Styrene is resistant to heat, the melting point is higher than other plastic material types so it could build ABS plastic more resistant to high-temperature exposure. Even so, styrene has a more stable compound so it is not melted even when heated.
The mixture of the three monomers produces ABS plastic that is resilient, light, unbreakable, isolator, and unscratchable even if it is scratched by a sharp object.
ABS Plastic Utilization
With a myriad of advantages, ABS plastic material is widely used in various fields. Here are products that utilize ABS plastic material :
- Head protector or helmet’ material
- Electronic devices
- Musical instrument
- Gaming devices
- Children’s toys
- Medical equipment
Medical Equipment that Utilises ABS Plastic Material
Infantometer board by Solo Abadi Indonesia is one of many medical types of equipment that uses ABS plastic as its basic material. An Infantometer board is the best and proper instrument that could be used to measure an infant’s length in the age range from 0 until 2 years old. Measurement is done in the supine position, designed to create comfortable feels for the infant.
1. The Measurement scale is accurate and easy to read
The Measuring scale range from the infantometer board is between 85 until 100 mm. Measurement scale function is to read measuring result that is adjusted to measurement standards and quality control for the sake of precision and accurate measurement.
2. Measurement board comfortable and premium
The shape of the measurement board is designed to adjust infants’ body positions so they stay comfortable. Head and foot slider also designed slidable to adjust infant’s length.
3. Exclusive storage bag
During application, the infantometer board by Solo Abadi is equipped with an exclusive storage bag so it is easier to bring anywhere and anytime. Moreover, storage bags could minimalize tool damage risk. Know more about infantometer here.
