What are plastic buttons made out of?
ABS, acrylic, nylon, resin, and other materials can be used to make plastic buttons. These materials can be classified into the following categories based on their content.
ABS buttons
ABS plastic is an opaque thermoplastic. Due to their material properties, buttons from ABS are tough and resistant which means they can have strong use. When coated, these buttons can have a metalized appearance, yet be lighter than metal.
ABS plastic is known for its robustness and impact resistance. ABS buttons are tough and resistant to breakage, cracking, or chipping, even under frequent use. This makes them an excellent choice for garments that experience wear and tear, such as jeans, coats, and workwear. ABS buttons can withstand heavy washing and are more resilient compared to other plastic or wooden buttons.
Acrylic buttons
Acrylic is a clear plastic material. Buttons from acrylic are made through a dyeing and stamping process. These buttons exhibit glass-like qualities but weigh half as much as crystal buttons. Brand owners prefer these buttons for their lightness, transparency, and toughness.
Nylon buttons
Nylon buttons are usually white, but due to their excellent dyeing properties, they can be dyed in different colors according to customer needs. It is worth mentioning that the imitation pearl button will have a charming pearl luster by mixing pearl powder and nylon material for injection molding.
Nylon is known for its strength and resilience. Nylon buttons are resistant to cracking, chipping, and breaking, making them a reliable option for garments that are subjected to frequent use, washing, or physical wear. This durability makes nylon buttons an excellent choice for workwear, uniforms, and other heavy-duty clothing items.
Resin buttons
Resin is an all-natural compound that is clear, pale yellow, and highly viscous. To make buttons, it must be heated, cooled, solidified, and cut because it is liquid in its natural state. These processes also result in buttons that are brighter, clearer, and heavier.
Resin is a relatively inexpensive material compared to other button options like metal or wood, making it an affordable option for both small and large-scale productions. Resin buttons are available in a variety of price ranges, depending on the complexity of the design.
