Trinseo Launches 2018 Webinar Series with the Benefits of Mass ABS
MAGNUM™ ABS Resins offer greater performance, advantages for
cross-industry customers
BERWYN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$TSE—Trinseo
(NYSE: TSE), a global materials solutions provider and manufacturer of
plastics, latex binders and synthetic rubber, kicked off its 2018
webinar series on January 23 with “Optimizing Performance and Achieving
Greater Customer Satisfaction from Your ABS Resin Selection.”
The webinar focused on the difference between the emulsion method of ABS
production and the alternative mass polymerization process, which is the
method used by Trinseo in producing its MAGNUM™
ABS Resins. It drew an audience of OEMs, extruders and thermoformers
from across the globe.
Trinseo shared important findings from its latest
research highlighting the advantages of its MAGNUM™ ABS Resins
including:
- Lot-to-lot consistency and exceptional whiteness for ease of coloring
- Low gels for superior surface aesthetics
- UV stability for long lasting color quality
- Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs )
Other topics discussed were the cost savings advantages of the material.
For one, due to its superior white base, less pigment is needed to
achieve a desired color. This results in a direct savings in pigment
cost. Additionally, because of the low gel levels, manufacturers and
processors can lower their risk of flawed surfaces thereby reducing the
costs of scrappage and potentially dissatisfied customers.

Trinseo has been producing ABS for over four decades and manufactures
the material in North America, Europe and Asia. Zhangjiagang,
China is Trinseo’s newest site where production began during the
second half of 2017.
As a manufacturer and compounder of injection molding and extrusion
grade MAGNUM™ ABS Resins, Trinseo was most interested in sharing the
value of its ABS produced by mass polymerization, because there is a
significant difference in ABS material determined by its production
method and this is something that is often overlooked when selecting
resins.
