POLYLAC PA-757 for Your Molding Review
For your custom ABS housings, identify screw bosses, cosmetic faces and mating lips. PA-757 is one general-purpose resin reference; verify its color and current specification.
| Your reference | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | CHIMEI |
| Material family | ABS — acrylonitrile butadiene styrene |
| Primary route | Injection molding resin |
| Your review | Grade, color, appearance and final fit |
Read the Test Before Comparing POLYLAC PA-757
For your PA-757 injection molded parts, retain the current supplier datasheet, test method and specimen conditions. Review impact and flow separately; published resin data is not your finished-part acceptance report.
| Your reference | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Flow metric | MVR and MFR are different quantities |
| Impact evidence | Method, notch, temperature and specimen |
| Your approval | Part geometry and application-specific test |
Match POLYLAC PA-757 to Your Product Route
For your ABS machining vs injection molding decision, separate molding pellets from the purchased sheet or rod. A machined prototype can verify fit; it does not validate a molded part’s impact or fire classification.

|---|---|
| Molding route | Resin, tooling, gate layout and sample purpose |
| CNC stock | Named sheet or rod product and condition |
| Assembly | Datums, threads, seam gap and accepted edges |

8 additional grades in 6 review groups. Supply, processing scope and suitability are confirmed for your project.
High Impact
PA-717C · PA-747CHIMEI POLYLACFor your PA-717C injection molding or PA-747 molded parts, define impact resistant ABS parts around the actual loading, geometry and acceptance test.
High Flow
PA-756CHIMEI POLYLACFor your PA-756 injection molding or thin wall ABS molding review, identify wall transitions, flow path and allowed cosmetic marks.
Heat Resistant
PA-777DCHIMEI POLYLACFor your heat resistant ABS injection molding and PA-777D molded parts, specify temperature, duration and applied load. A short-term test is not a continuous-use guarantee.
Flame Retardant
PA-765ACHIMEI POLYLACFor your flame retardant ABS enclosure molding or PA-765A injection molding, match grade, color and wall thickness to current recognition records.
Plating Grade
PA-727CHIMEI POLYLACFor your electroplating grade ABS parts or PA-727 injection molding, agree preparation, plating adhesion, appearance and dimensions after the complete finish route.
Extrusion Grades
PA-747S · SP-6POLYLAC / TerluranFor your ABS profile extrusion, Terluran SP-6 extrusion or custom ABS profiles, confirm resin plus section specification, cut length and finished checks. Custom ABS extruded parts need their own approval.
Related, not equivalent: PC/ABS blends, ASA, MABS and ABS-like printing resins. Keep each material identity and process specification separate.
Specify Your ABS, Not a Generic Equivalent
| Component / name | What your order needs |
|---|---|
| Acrylonitrile | One constituent of the ABS polymer family |
| Butadiene | Rubber phase in the ABS material system |
| Styrene | One constituent of the ABS polymer family |
| Composition percentages | Grade-specific formulation; no universal wt.% assigned here |
| European procurement | ABS / acrylonitrile butadiene styrene + manufacturer + exact trade grade + color |
POLYLAC PA-757 and Terluran GP-22 are commercial grades, not automatically equivalent EN/DIN metal designations. Your composition or material analysis report needs an agreed method, lot identity and actual supplier evidence.

3 Checks Before You Approve a Grade
01 · Actual exposure
Temperature, impact, cleaning fluids, UV and assembly stress.
02 · Appearance & fit
Color, texture, sink limits, screw bosses, threads and seam gap.
03 · Required evidence
Material identity, current recognition scope and approved production-route sample.
Flame classification is grade-, color- and thickness-specific.
CHIMEI lists PA-765A in its TBBA series. Do not describe it as halogen-free. Current material recognition and finished-product approval are separate decisions.

Answers Before You Specify
Can one ABS grade replace another?
Not automatically. Confirm manufacturer, full grade, color, product form and your finished-part requirements. Obtain drawing-authority approval before changing source or formulation.
Is every ABS grade flame retardant?
No. Match the exact grade, color and thickness to current supplier recognition records. A resin listing does not approve your finished enclosure.
Can a molding resin define my CNC stock?
No. Specify the actual sheet, rod or profile product and its supplier evidence. Material family names do not establish stock identity or delivery condition.
Is ABS-like printing resin the same as ABS?
No. ABS-like is a performance description used for some printing resins; it does not establish ABS chemistry, manufacturing behavior or equivalent production performance.
Can ABS be used outdoors?
Review UV, moisture, temperature, chemicals, coating and service duration for your actual grade. Outdoor exposure may require another material system. For ABS vs PC ABS for enclosures, compare the full grades rather than assuming a blend guarantees outdoor life.
What drives the cost of my ABS part?
Material and color, stock or tooling, part geometry, cosmetic requirements, process quantities, finishing and inspection affect your quotation. Compare the same drawing revision and acceptance scope.
