I love the way companies take a generic product and try to make it a
proprietary product.
ABS is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Luran is "styrene acrylonitrile
copolymers that have been impact-modified with
acrylic ester rubber." The "acrylic ester rubber" is the butadiene
co-polymer. Polybutadiene (a rubbery compound) is grafted onto the
styrene-acrylonitrile chains, and converts a brittle polymer into a much
tougher material.
It's a good product, but without the glass fiber reinforcing that fiberglass
has, it can crack more easily if over-stressed.

No, don't do that! ;)
Unless, of course you are okay with putting way-too-much stress on
your poptop and fostering problems in short order.
Too tight is, in fact, TOO TIGHT!!
Someone mentioned ABS for the poptop material. Here is the actual
composition of the High Grade ABS:
