FORD ESB-M4D241-B

Description / Abstract: The material defined by this specification is a specially formulated heat resistant, high strength, electroplating grade of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic. Since this material is nonconductive, a conductive coating must be applied before the plastic can be electrolytically plated. Conductivity is achieved commercially by the electroless method. The electrolytic plating process itself is basically the same as used with many metals.
