A portable space saving football goal has been launched to promote sport and activities for 3 to 5 year old children. Describe the properties of ABS that make it a suitable material for the football goal.

It is strong and lightweight, and so can be taken apart and stored in a car boot etc. for transport. ABS has a glossy finish which means it requires not protection for indoor or outdoor use. It is a hard polymer so it will not split, crack or shatter easily and so this means it is safe for children to use.
