Manufactured from quality recycled material, it delivers consistent performance while supporting more sustainable material choices.
Supplied in a standard sheet size of 2500mm x 1250mm and available in a choice of thicknesses from 1.5mm to 6mm, it is ideal for fabrication, machine building, guards, panels, and interior components across industrial, commercial and educational settings.
Product Features
- Manufactured from recycled ABS for a strong, rigid and durable engineering plastic sheet.
- Available thickness options: 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm to suit a wide range of applications.
- Standard sheet dimensions of 2500mm length x 1250mm width for efficient cutting and yield.
- Solid black colour for a smart, uniform appearance and effective light blocking.
- Good impact resistance to withstand knocks, handling and day-to-day wear.
- Resistant to many common chemicals, oils and cleaning agents used in industrial environments.
- Suitable for machining, cutting, drilling and thermoforming with appropriate equipment.
Key Features and Benefits
- High mechanical strength: Offers excellent rigidity and toughness, helping fabricated parts maintain their shape under load.
- Impact-resistant performance: Reduces the risk of cracking or breakage in panels, covers and guards exposed to everyday impacts.
- Chemical resistance: Withstands contact with many oils, greases and mild chemicals, extending service life in industrial environments.
- Versatile fabrication: Can be cut, drilled, routed and formed, giving designers and fabricators wide scope for custom components.
- Professional black finish: Provides an attractive, opaque surface suitable for visible panels, interior cladding and display work.
- Recycled material content: Uses recycled ABS, supporting waste reduction and more responsible material selection without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this recycled ABS sheet be cut and drilled with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the sheet can usually be cut, drilled and routed using standard woodworking or plastic-working tools fitted with sharp, fine-toothed blades or cutters. Take normal precautions to avoid overheating, support the sheet properly and remove swarf to achieve clean edges.
Is the black ABS sheet suitable for outdoor use?
Recycled ABS offers good mechanical performance but is not generally recommended for long-term external use without additional UV protection, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to discolouration and embrittlement. For outdoor applications, additional coatings or alternative UV-stabilised materials may be more appropriate.
Which thickness should I choose for my application?
Thinner sheets such as 1.5mm and 2mm are ideal for lightweight panels, cladding and trim, while 3mm to 4mm are commonly used for general-purpose guards and covers. Thicker options like 5mm and 6mm are better suited to more demanding applications where extra stiffness and impact resistance are required. Always consider panel size, support spacing and load when selecting a thickness.
