With the development of modern technology, various electronic products have entered our lives, such as computers, phones, tablets, routers, and so on.

As there are more electronic products, there are more socket plugs that need to be charged. Various chargers are plugged into one plug, and if the quality of the plug is not up to standard, it is easy to burn and cause fire accidents.

An important factor causing a fire is the poor contact between the plug and socket, which can cause burning due to overheating. Therefore, in the selection of the new generation of plug and socket, it is necessary to use a material that can prevent combustion to synthesize the shell - this material is flame-retardant grade ABS.

Flame retardant ABS is a ternary copolymer composed of acrylonitrile (A) and butadiene (B) (S) and its modified resin. Plastic made from ABS resin as a substrate. Its advantages include a wide range of raw materials, low prices, easy processing and shaping, and excellent impact performance.

Most of the current plug production companies use PC, ABS, or alloy materials mixed with both to prepare the plastic shell of the plug. PC material itself has some flame retardancy, good electrical insulation and mechanical properties, and good heat resistance and transparency. As a mature application material for the shell of the plug, it is a relatively mature technology.

Of course, materials with high flame retardancy such as ABS can not only be applied to plug-in boards, but also cover a wide range of fields.

For example:

1： Automotive industry

There are many parts in the automotive industry that are made of ABS or ABS alloy, among which ABS parts are mainly used, such as instrument panels, glove boxes, glove box assemblies, door sill upper and lower accessories, water tank masks, etc.

2： Office machines

Due to the high gloss and easy formability of flame-retardant ABS, office equipment machines need to have a beautiful appearance and good hand feel, such as telephone casings, memory casings, as well as a large number of ABS parts used in computers, fax machines, and copiers.

3： Household appliances

There are more areas where ABS is applied in household appliances and small appliances, such as the aforementioned patch panels, commonly used routers, and air vents for hair dryers.

Flame retardant ABS materials, from cars to sockets, have been applied to items that are closely related to our daily lives, indicating that the country is increasingly paying attention to fire safety. In addition to technical hazards, we also need to pay attention to fire safety ourselves!
