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 would 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.

What is the difference between penetration and softening point of a bitumen?
The penetration point of Bitumens such as asphalt is the depth in tenths of millimeters a standard weighted needle will penetrate through a given sample of asphalt at a given time and temperature. The softening point of Bitumen such as asphalt is the temperature at which the Bitumen softens at standard conditions. Method of detrmination employs a ball and ring in which the ball falls through the ring after the softening has been reached.
