..Wim, the beauty of ABS is it is flexible as far as its composite make-up.
ABS is a 'brand name'. The product, or the application its used for, is very
flexible.

To answer your question, it's as strong as you want it to be, depending on
the additives that are added to the extrusion process of the plastic itself.

Wim, don't think ABS=cheap plastic..quite the contrary.
