ABS industrial pipe systems tend to be chosen over PVC in applications where low operating temperatures are expected, where there is a risk of pipe shatter (such as compressed gasses or impact) or where the chemical compatibility of PVC is unsuited. ABS pipe is quite a ductile material which means that it is less brittle at lower temperatures than PVC. ABS can provide excellent resistance to impact damage at temperatures from as low as -40°C and up to 70°C. It is for this reason that ABS pipe and fittings are the best choice for cold process lines such as chiller circuits with glycol and those carrying ice slurries, such as ice cream and chilled food factories.
ABS pipe is mid to light grey in colour, as opposed to the dark grey of PVC. Care should be taken when identifying by colour alone, however, as some older PVC (up until the late 1990s) was also manufactured in a light grey.
Other industrial uses: ABS plastic is widely used in many industries due to its properties of ductility (meaning it can deform and then reform to its original shape) and the ability to achieve a very high-quality gloss finish in the moulded product. It is commonly used in items like power tool bodies, phone and instrument cases, car dashboards, where the ability to look good and deform to attach one brick to the other, and then reform when taken apart is very important.
