Abstract

A hydrophobic ABS plastics material is formed from an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) plastic feed stock and a silicone additive. The hydrophobic ABS plastics material is used to produce a casing material, and also an electrical device. The hydrophobic ABS plastics material is ideally suited for protecting sensitive electronic components from moisture via a casing.
