Great article, I airsoft, and many airsoft guns are composed of ABS plastic. It's nice to know what it's really made of!

[edit] Temperature?

Use up to 60 °C, eh? Is this the reason the ABS vent on some water heaters becomes damaged, brittle, and eventually snaps?

"In plumbing, ABS pipes are the black pipes " - believe this is incorrect (should be polyethlyene instead of ABS), and should be withdrawn from the article. 58.166.34.212 02:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] mention of lego?

i think maybe that this material is used for lego should be mentioned as lego is one of the more popular toys in the world.# --Jamieisamonkey 18:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


edit: lol, dont worry. ive just reread the aricle. the mention of lego is there but maybe make it more obvious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamieisamonkey (talk • contribs) 18:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question about safety when used for kids bowls/cutlery?

-- I've noticed ABS is used in some other kids stuff, like eating bowls. Is it a "safe" plastic - i.e. does it leach harmful materials? It would be good to include comments about this in the post. Thanks -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.21.149.156 (talk) 02:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
