MABS Resin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- MABS
- Methyl Methacrylate Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
- Methyl Methacrylate ABS
MABS resin is a thermoplastic blend of methyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile and butadiene phases. It is selected for moulded or extruded parts that need a combination of surface appearance, gloss or translucency, toughness and practical processing behaviour.
The page covers general-purpose injection, high-impact, high-gloss or transparent, and extrusion grades. Buyers should specify the machine, mould or die, melt-flow target, colour, transparency, impact requirement, surface finish and any end-use qualification before choosing the resin.
MABS is a distinct polymer from ABS resin, PMMA and SAN. Its formulation balances the surface contribution of the methyl methacrylate phase with the toughness of the rubber-modified structure, so those neighbouring polymers should not be treated as automatic substitutes.
Send the processing route, part design, appearance target, mechanical requirements, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and quotation-stage grade data are confirmed for the selected MABS resin.
- Grade
- general-purpose injection grade, high-impact grade, high-gloss grade, extrusion grade
- Appearance
- Natural or coloured thermoplastic resin supplied as pellets.
MABS Resin grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General-purpose injection grade | thermoplastic pellets | — | Injection moulding of housings, fittings and components requiring a balance of appearance, toughness and processability. | Confirmed with the quotation |
| High-impact grade | thermoplastic pellets | — | Moulded parts exposed to impact or mechanical handling where toughness is prioritised alongside the MABS surface. | Confirmed with the quotation |
| High-gloss or transparent grade | thermoplastic pellets | — | Visible components and appliance or consumer-product parts requiring surface appearance, gloss or controlled translucency. | Confirmed with the quotation |
| Extrusion grade | thermoplastic pellets | — | Profile, sheet or other continuous processing routes requiring melt stability and the selected MABS balance. | Confirmed with the quotation |

Safety and handling
Keep containers closed and protect the material from conditions that may affect its grade. Handling and storage details are confirmed in the product documentation.
Common questions about MABS resin
What is MABS resin used for?
MABS resin is used for injection moulded and extruded housings, appliance parts, fittings, automotive components and appearance-critical technical products.
Is MABS resin the same as ABS?
No. MABS is a separate ABS-family polymer modified with methyl methacrylate for a different balance of surface appearance, gloss, transparency and toughness.
Which MABS grade is suitable for injection moulding?
Provide the machine, mould design, wall thickness, melt-flow target, colour, gloss, impact and dimensional requirements so an injection grade can be matched.
Can MABS be supplied for extrusion?
Extrusion grades may be considered for profiles, sheet and continuous products. State die conditions, melt stability, surface requirements and expected output with the enquiry.
What information is needed for a MABS quotation?
Include the polymer process, part or profile description, appearance and impact targets, estimated volume, colour requirement and delivery point.
