Activity Description
ABS resin is produced using an emulsion grafting-bulk styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) blending method. The production process of this product includes the polybutadiene unit (monomer and chemical preparation, polybutadiene emulsion polymerization, monomer recovery, and product handling), the HRG unit (polybutadiene, acrylonitrile, styrene, and MMA polymerization), the SAN unit (acrylonitrile and styrene polymerization), the blending unit, and the waste gas treatment unit.
Process Description
ABS is a terpolymer of three monomers: acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S). Its molecular formula can be expressed as (C8H8·C4H6·C3H3N)x, where the relative proportions of the three monomers can be varied to produce various types of resins. ABS resin combines the properties of its three components, exhibiting excellent mechanical and thermal performance. It has been widely used in the manufacturing industries of machinery, electrical equipment, textiles, automobiles, aircraft, ships, as well as in the chemical industry.

Technology comment
The emulsion grafting-bulk SAN blending method refers to a process where the ABS graft powder is produced via emulsion polymerization, while the SAN resin blended with the ABS graft powder is synthesized by the bulk method. The advantages of producing ABS resin by this method include the ability to adjust blending ratios and the types and quantities of additives to manufacture different grades of ABS resin. This technology is advanced and reliable, offering a wide range of applications, excellent performance, and relatively low pollution. The main process principle involves dissolving polybutadiene rubber with styrene, acrylonitrile monomers, MMA, and a solvent, followed by bulk polymerization to produce ABS resin.
