ABS is the terpolymer of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene. Each of the three components possesses certain functions. Acrylonitrile provides chemical resistance and hardness, Butadiene contributes toughness and impact strength; Styrene offers gloss and process-ability. Combining the above characteristics, ABS is now the most popular and economical Engineering Plastic.

TaitalacR is the tradename of Taita's ABS resin. Adopting the famous Japanese Toray Process, TaitalacR is enjoying a reputation for excellent quality and recognized as one of the leading ABS resins in the world.
