It is recommended to support the sheet properly during cutting and to avoid excessive feed rates to achieve a clean edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this ABS sheet suitable for prolonged outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile ABS offers good mechanical performance, it is not generally recommended for long-term outdoor exposure without additional UV protection, as prolonged sunlight can cause discolouration and embrittlement. For external applications, a UV-stabilised or specially formulated outdoor grade should be considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the fire retardant grade mean it will not burn at all?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, fire retardant ABS is designed to resist ignition and slow the spread of flame compared with standard grades, but it can still burn under sufficient heat or direct flame. It should be used as part of an overall fire safety strategy, and any specific fire rating requirements should be checked against current regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plastock","offers":[{"title":"2 \/ 1372 \/ 660","offer_id":56199171506556,"sku":"PLT_PLC12557","price":96.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 \/ 2500 \/ 1250","offer_id":56199171539324,"sku":"PLT_PLC12558","price":331.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 \/ 1372 \/ 660","offer_id":56199171572092,"sku":"PLT_PLC12559","price":120.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 \/ 2500 \/ 1250","offer_id":56199171604860,"sku":"PLT_PLC12560","price":414.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 1372 \/ 660","offer_id":56199171637628,"sku":"PLT_PLC12561","price":144.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 2500 \/ 1250","offer_id":56199171670396,"sku":"PLT_PLC12562","price":497.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 \/ 1372 \/ 660","offer_id":56199171703164,"sku":"PLT_PLC12563","price":192.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 \/ 2500 \/ 1250","offer_id":56199171735932,"sku":"PLT_PLC12564","price":662.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 \/ 1372 \/ 660","offer_id":56199171768700,"sku":"PLT_PLC12565","price":240.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 \/ 2500 \/ 1250","offer_id":56199171801468,"sku":"PLT_PLC12566","price":828.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ 1372 \/ 660","offer_id":56199171834236,"sku":"PLT_PLC12567","price":288.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ 2500 \/ 1250","offer_id":56199171867004,"sku":"PLT_PLC12568","price":993.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/9262\/2987\/files\/7d58356e92d74df6b757be4f68a81567.png?v=1767775711","url":"https:\/\/plasticsco.co.uk\/products\/fire-retardant-abs-black-sheet","provider":"Plastics Co Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
