How ABS Enclosures Keep PCs Dust-Free

Dust Free PC enclosures are American-made with industrial-strength ABS composite to keep your equipment safe, clean, and running smoothly. Our team has deployed over 10,000 computer enclosures since 1999, and after decades on the job, there’s a reason we build with ABS. Learn more about ABS enclosures.

What Is ABS Plastic?

ABS plastic is a thermoplastic polymer that’s highly versatile and easily recyclable, making it one of the most sustainable plastics and friendly to the environment. Specifically, ABS is made of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, hence the acronym. 

Another example of a thermoplastic is polyvinyl chloride or PVC, commonly used as a piping material due to its longevity and resistance to corrosion. ABS is similar to PVC but stronger, more shock-resistant, and performs better in extreme temperatures. These are some of the reasons we choose ABS for our enclosures.

The Advantages of ABS Enclosures

Many enclosures are made of steel, which is susceptible to rust, corrosion, and temperature changes. On the other hand, durable ABS composite won’t rust, corrode, or dent. 

Even in the harshest industrial and manufacturing environments, ABS enclosures can protect your sensitive electronics from dust, oil, moisture, and grime. Here are some of the benefits:

Fully Customizable 

ABS is customizable. This allows us to build custom computer enclosures to match your size specifications and fit your computers, servers, printers, and more.

Durable and Impact Resistant

ABS is extremely tough and durable. It has a high tensile strength similar to concrete, meaning it can withstand heavy forces without breaking or cracking. It will keep your essential equipment safe even in the most demanding environments.

Resistant to Chemicals

ABS is highly resistant to many chemicals, including acids, alkalis, concentrated hydrochloric and phosphoric acids, hydrocarbons, oils, and fats. This makes it ideal for protecting sensitive electronic equipment in industrial settings, including chemical processing plants.

Protective Against Corrosion and Corrosive Environments

As a plastic, ABS does not run the risk of corrosion like metal materials. Again, it’s very tough and avoids breakdown from many chemicals. Because of its ability to handle corrosive environments, it’s also excellent at providing corrosion protection for equipment.

Resistant to Extreme Temperatures

ABS has exceptional stability in extreme temperatures – both hot and cold. The sturdy material maintains its properties up to 180? through typical production heat cycles. It also retains impact strength and resistance down to -40?. Whether you have equipment in hot or freezing industrial environments, rest assured your ABS enclosure will keep it safe.

Lightweight

Despite its incredible strength, ABS is also lightweight and easy to maneuver, unlike similar metal materials.
