- ethicsGuaranteed traceability from start to finish.
AMS-BC is primarily used to produce acrylonitrile butadiene (ABS), a thermoplastic with high impact resistance that combines durability and versatility. Thanks to its equivalent technical properties to fossil AMS, this monomer can be used to develop high-performance plastics for sectors that demand quality and lower environmental impact. Its applications span various industries that require high durability plastics such as coatings and cosmetics, promoting circularity in these applications and fostering more responsible solutions for long-life products.
