Automotive Plastics: ABS Plastic, abs plastics, automotive repairs


Question
Please let me know what material can I use to repair parts made of ABS plastics. Is there any particular brand that is available in the market. Who manufactures, please?

Answer
Dear Yahaya bin Mohd Nor,Thank you for question.The best way to weld ABS and any other thermoplastic is with the same material.That is, with a discarded similar part so identified and by making use of a 40 watts soldering iron having a spatula-like tip.Be careful with vapors (cyanide vinyl)among others. I think you can ask in Carr-company for a sheet but most automotive repairs are dealt with the way I suggested. A good used ABS piece must not have been subject to excessive sun light or stress.A painted part usually qualifies. Any other info? do not hesitate to ask in manual@bumper2bumperplasticsrepair.com mention the word ABS in the subject box so I can know is not spam. Bye
