ABS examples of modulus retention versus temperature C

For long-term heat ageing, property retention depends on the property and grades considered, notably the heat stabilizers used. Characteristics such as elongation at break and impact strength are especially heat sensitive. 

At low temperatures, ABS is much less brittle than polystyrene and performs well down to -20° C or -40° C, according to the grade. 

The glass transition temperatures of ABS by DSC measurements are generally about 95°Cup toll5°C. 

These results relate to some grades only and cannot be generalized.
