Temperature under load, deflection, styrene

Notable among the alternative materials are the MBS polymers, in which methyl methacrylate and styrene are grafted on to the polybutadiene backbone. This has resulted in two clear-cut advantages over ABS. The polymers could be made with high clarity and they had better resistance to discolouration in the presence of ultraviolet light. Disadvantages of MBS systems are that they have lower tensile strength and heat deflection temperature under load.
