ABS sheet for refrigeration applications demands chemical resistance to common household cleaners (foaming agents in polyurethane insulation have strong solvent effects), UL 94 HB flammability rating (with FR grades reaching V-0), and deep-draw thermoforming capability at moderate mold temperatures (100-130°C). Jwell lines serving this application typically include the full automation package: automatic material handling, thickness control, and sheet stacking.
