Technical Information

MAGNUM™ 3904 Smooth
ABS Resin 
Overview MAGNUM™ 3904 Smooth is an extrusion / thermoforming resin developed for high impact and other technical
applications.
 
The mass (continuous process) ABS technology ensures an ABS resin that combines excellent processability with a
stable light base colour that is ideal for self-colouring.
 
The new MAGNUM* 'Smooth Series' resins have an ultra low particulate content, which results in a superb surface
finish that will enable our customers to produce parts with excellent aesthetics at a lower total cost.
