If you own a 3D printer with a heated bed and a high(er) temp extruder (260-285 deg), these materials produce a superior quality part. Especially the Z-Ultrat low shrinkage ABS.
I have tried dozens of materials over the years (I am a product design engineer) and I have basically settled on using Z-Ultrat exclusively. It's usually frightfully expensive $70-90.
At $22.50 basically theft. The same you'd pay for poor tolerance Chinese filament you wouldn't make a door stop with.

  I print with cheap chineese ABS everyday, half of my Voron 2.4 is made of them too lol
  But… If you say it's really good I'll give it a go and see the difference, cheers!

    Some cheap filament is really good but QC is…inconsistent. Fine for home use however 3D printing troubleshooting is time consuming. Clogs, under-extrusion, moisture in the filament etc. These things you want to avoid when your paying engineering staff $$$/hr.

  Sorry for my ignorance but what's Z-Ultrat, proprietary material?

  I couldn't see any specs on the filament to say the temp. You mention 260-285degrees. Is this from your experience? I have been wanting to get into ABS. My printer is ABS compatible but max temp is 250 I think. This may not work then?

    May not yield good results.

    If 250 is the max temp then it's probably not great at holding it at that temp.
    There are low temp ABS blends that may work better.
