Description
Key Benefits
- ABS Pro reduces or eliminates preheating in ABS and HIPS, cutting 3–4 hours of drying per batch.
- It improves surface finish, for better visible product quality.
- It reduces pinholes in moulded parts, eliminating a common reprocessed-material defect.
- It increases melt flow, improving processability and making the material easier to mould.
- It increases production rate, delivering higher throughput per shift.
- It reduces electricity load, delivering a direct utility cost saving.
- It works at just 1–3% dosage, making it cost-effective at low loading.
- It is easy to dose, added 2–3 minutes before the material is dumped from the mixture.

FAQ
What is ABS Pro?
ABS Pro is a specially formulated processing aid designed for reprocessed (recycled) ABS and HIPS injection moulding. It reduces or eliminates the need for preheating, improves surface finish, reduces pinholes, increases melt flow and production rate, and reduces electricity load.
Why is ABS Pro specifically for reprocessed material?
Reprocessed ABS and HIPS bring specific processing challenges — variable moisture, inconsistent properties, surface defects, slower processing. ABS Pro is formulated to address these challenges so moulders can use recycled feedstock at virgin-material processing efficiency.
What is the recommended dosage of ABS Pro?
The recommended dosage is 1% to 3% (w/w) of total batch size, depending on your specific formulation. Higher recycled content or more severe moisture issues typically require higher dosage within this range.
When should ABS Pro be added during injection moulding?
Add ABS Pro 2 or 3 minutes before the material is about to be dumped from the mixture. This timing ensures uniform distribution while preventing premature activation.
How much electricity can ABS Pro save?
By reducing or eliminating the preheating cycle, ABS Pro directly cuts the electricity used for hopper drying and oven preheating — a significant portion of total moulding electricity load. Exact savings depend on your existing preheating setup.
Does ABS Pro improve surface finish?
Yes. ABS Pro delivers improvement in surface finish and reduces pinholes in moulded parts — addressing two of the most common quality complaints with reprocessed ABS and HIPS.
Does ABS Pro affect melt flow?
Yes — positively. ABS Pro increases melt flow, which improves processability, makes the material easier to mould, and contributes to higher production rate.
How is ABS Pro packaged?
ABS Pro is sold in 1 kg unit packs, further packed in 25 kg bags. The 1 kg unit pack format helps protect the additive from moisture until it is needed for use.
How should ABS Pro be stored?
Store in dry conditions, away from humidity or moisture. Keep unit packs sealed until use.
Is ABS Pro manufactured in India?
Yes. ABS Pro is manufactured in India by Vin Group, an ISO 9001 certified plastic and rubber additive manufacturer operating since 1997.
