An ABS laminate panel consists of a plywood core bonded with an ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) surface skin. Unlike FRP (fiberglass) or aluminum laminates, ABS laminate is known for impact resistance, ease of fabrication, and a clean finished appearance, making it a common choice for road cases, flight cases, and custom enclosures.
ABS laminate panels are commonly used for road cases and flight case construction. The ABS surface helps resist impacts encountered during transport and handling. The plywood core adds rigidity and fastener holding strength, and the overall panel is lightweight enough to keep case weight manageable for touring use. TCH's panels are commonly used in these applications.
ABS laminate panels are available in multiple colors and finishes. Refer to the TCH laminate color chart and individual product pages for current options. Available colors and finishes vary by product. Checking the product listings or requesting a quote is recommended for specific color-thickness combinations.
ABS laminate panels are commonly used in transportation cases, equipment enclosures, and road case applications. Application suitability should be evaluated based on the specific environment and exposure conditions.
ABS laminate panels are commonly selected for case construction, transportation equipment, and enclosure applications. FRP laminate panels are commonly selected for moisture-resistant applications.
Yes. ABS laminate panels are commonly machined using standard fabrication methods, including cutting, drilling, and routing.
Fastening and bonding methods should be selected based on the application, panel construction, and performance requirements.
Standard ABS laminate panels are not inherently rated as fire-retardant. If your application requires flame resistance (such as in certain stage, event, or public venue environments), you should consult TCH directly about fire-retardant panel options or verify compliance requirements with the relevant safety standards before specifying ABS laminate.
Contact TCH regarding project-specific size, color, and quantity requirements. Availability depends on the material and project specifications.
