Processing & Machining Notes
The catalog describes machining ABS+PC with HSS or carbide tools. The required finish depends on subsequent processes such as coating or joining parts.
General catalog guidance. Cutting, cooling, and heat-treatment parameters need validation for the specific grade and part.
Standards and documentation to confirm
These catalog references do not certify every grade or batch. Request the supplied grade’s document and application scope, especially for food contact, medical use, or ESD protection.
