Abstract
Smooth, glossy lacquered surfaces are obtained by coating an ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer) plastic with a lacquer based on a solvent system with a ketone such as methyl ethyl ketone and a second solvent constituent such as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate and which has a solids content substantially of ABS plastic. The lacquer is easy to spray and provides adequate hiding power. The ABS specimens sprayed with the lacquer retain the impact resistant properties usually associated with this plastic. Additionally, the plastic obtained by recycling these lacquer coated ABS bodies retains the impact resistance of ABS.
