What is the melting point of ABS plastic?
Plastics don't have specific melting points. The melting point depends on a large number of factors and is more likely to be a range rather than a precise point as it woul…d be for a small molecule. The melt temperature for ABS is usually somewhere in the vicinity of 378 K, just above the boiling point of water. It softens around 90 °C and melts around 105 °C. Maximum usable temperature is considered to be 80 °C. (MORE)
