Tensile Test of PC/ABS Resin Materials (ISO 527-1 and JIS K7161) - Tensile Test of Resin Materials with Different Compounding Ratios

User Benefits

- JIS K7161 (ISO 527-1) compliant testing is possible by using the AGX-V precision universal testing machine and TRViewX non- contact digital video extensometer. - The approximate compounding ratio of PC/ABS resins can be confirmed by conducting a tensile test.

Introduction

PC/ABS resin is an engineering thermoplastic that adds the molding workability and plating characteristics of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin to the heat resistance, impact resistance, and flame-retardant property of polycarbonate (PC). It is widely used in automotive interior parts, office equipment, and household electrical appliances due to its excellent impact resistance, weathering resistance, and moldability. Since the mechanical properties of PC/ABS change depending on the compounding ratio, an understanding of its mechanical properties at various compounding ratios is important for developing materials in line with the required specifications. This article introduces an example of a tensile test of 5 types of PC/ABS test pieces with different compounding ratios using the Shimadzu AGX-V precision universal testing machine.
