TOYOLAC™ ABS resin is a highly versatile thermoplastic consisting of acrylonitrile,
butadiene, and styrene.
It has a unique set of properties combining "strength," "lightness," and "aesthetics"as well as excellent
mechanical, chemical, electrical properties, and superior processability.It is widely used in a broad
range of applications from industrial to household goods.
Although relatively lightweight, it has an excellent balance of physical properties in mechanical
properties such as strength, impact resistance, and heat resistance.
Aesthetics
It has excellent surface gloss and can be colored as desired. It realizes diverse designs as
exterior parts.
Moldability and Processability
It has excellent moldability and processability, and can be molded by various methods such as
injection, extrusion, blow, calendering, and vacuum molding.
Secondary Processability
It is excellent in paintability, machinability, and adhesiveness, and is also suitable for plating,
so it can be used for decorative parts.
Electrical Properties
It exhibits excellent insulation over a wide frequency range and is hardly affected by temperature
and humidity. We also offer antistatic resins alloyed with antistatic resins to ABS resins, and
durable anti-static grades.
Chemical Resistance
It has high chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, etc.
Various Grades
Centering on standard grades, we offer a wide lineup of grades to suit your purposes, such as
transparent, medical, antistatic, chemical-resistant, painting, weather-resistant, alloy, plating, and
recycling grades.
Sustainability
We offer a wide lineup of sustainable grades with our unique formulation design and quality
assurance, contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions for our customers.
High transparency that expands design possibilities
We are a company that started manufacturing and selling transparent ABS resin ahead of other domestic
companies, and have accumulated technology for over 40 years. We utilize this technology for TOYOLAC™ ABS
resin to achieve high transparency, moldability, and secondary processability, supporting the improvement of
our customers' product aesthetics. In addition, among the transparent grades, we offer a wide range of
grades according to the purpose, such as medical use, high impact resistance, chemical resistance, scratch
resistance, and antistatic properties.
In addition, Toray Plastics (Malaysia) Sdn. Berhad manufactures the same quality grades as Toray in Japan,
enabling a rapid and stable global supply. This production system also contributes to the stabilization of
our customers' procurement.

Features of TOYOLAC™ transparent grade for medical use
High paintability that leads to reduction in painting costs
TOYOLAC™ ABS resin offers a lineup of heat-resistant, weather-resistant, and alloy grades suitable for
interior and exterior automotive components. In these grades, paintability is improved by our proprietary
technology, and typical defects in the painting process on resin, such as absorption and bubbling, are
improved from the material side. This contributes to reducing the cost of painted parts for customers.
Mechanism of absorption occurrence during painting
Optimal electrical properties and antistatic properties for transport materials of semiconductors and
electronic components
Toray is the only ABS resin manufacturer that produces both ABS resin and antistatic resin in-house. The
grade developed utilizing this know-how is TOYOLACPAREL™ (Durable anti-static ABS Resin), which alloys ABS
resin and antistatic resin using our proprietary technology to achieve both high electrical properties and
antistatic properties.
This grade is used in a large number of applications requiring antistatic measures, such as transport
materials for semiconductors and electronic components, and home appliances.

TOYOLAC™ ABS resin is used in various applications such as automotive components, medical devices, and
transport materials.
Medical Devices
TOYOLAC™ also has a lineup of grades for medical devices. It has biological safety (biocompatibility)
and excellent chemical resistance, moldability, and secondary processability, and can be used for
liquid-contacting medical devices. In addition, to ensure safe use in medical applications, we strictly
control quality by limiting production formulations and processes.
Automotive Components
ABS resin, which features high lightness, impact resistance, and moldability, is used in various
interior and exterior automotive components.
In TOYOLAC™, we also offer various grades for automotive applications, including those for secondary
decoration such as painting. We also have highly weather-resistant grades (ASA resin), and respond to
requests such as quality stability and total cost reduction with optimal proposals.
Transport Materials
Transport materials for semiconductors and electronic components require antistatic measures to prevent
electronic circuit damage caused by electrostatic sparks and to prevent noise and dust. TOYOLACPAREL™,
developed with Toray's proprietary polymer alloy technology, overcomes these challenges with its high
antistatic effect and is widely used as a material for semiconductor and electronic component transport
trays.
Achieving both high electrical properties and antistatic properties!
Static dissipative ABS resin
"TOYOLACPAREL™"
Transport trays for 5G-related components and secondary batteries, and home appliances require
antistatic measures to prevent electronic circuit damage, noise, and dust caused by electrostatic
sparks. We introduce products that have achieved both high electrical properties and antistatic
properties, which are difficult with resin materials.
