It passes FAR 25.853b at 0.047" and above. It combines its light weight with very high impact strength, high tensile strength and stiffness, and excellent formability and ductility. Looks like a close relative of R59. Quote

I didn't know that there were so many variants of ABS until your post caused me to investigate. So, we all learned something. I've always just picked up scraps from a local TAP Plastics. I never gave fire retardancy a thought because I only use small pieces for reinforcing the original plastic parts. But, it's good to know that there is a material that meets FAA specs if I ever had to fabricate something larger. Quote
