Black ABS

After burning a nice hole in my secondary I went to
home depot to find a piece of pipe for a replacement
form.

A came home with a hunk 4"x24" of black ABS.  I've
searched through the archives and have read mixed
opinions about black ABS.

Someone suggested that rubbing it on paper would be a
good test to see if it contains carbon.  What I have
is very hard and leaves no mark.

The other suggestion is to rub in im my hair to see if
it generates static.  I shave my head, so my shiney
head precludes me from running that test!

So what do you guys think?  Would this stuff be OK, or
should I pitch it and get a hunk of white PVC?

Are there any other tests I could run?

Thanks,

Curt.
