Their new ball the A40+ is coming out by the end of the year (November 21st in Japan) and will be used at the 2018 ITTF World Championships. I'm assuming they're made of ABS plastic like Nittaku Premium, similar material to all the new improved generation of plastic balls (DHS D40+, Stiga Perform 40+...).

I don't care about the quality of the plastic. This ball has a terrible sound and tears off like its made of a recicled plastics.The black ones are made of master quality plastic.
It would be good if the new chinese A40+ are better than the german G40+, as for me the G40+ is amongst the worst plastic balls ever.
Woah! That's so cool! Can I get these now though?
G40 is horrible.
I am glad they will have an ABS ball.
Baal flat out refuses to QUANTIFY horrible... since he already did it several times across several forums. Anyone reading his posts over the last few years should have a clear picture of the plastic ball scene.
Personally, I didn't think the G40+ was in the HORRIBLE range (think Joola 40+ Seamed balls). Yes, the bounce sounded like a revved-up 90 yr old grandma on CRACK doing her loud thing each bounce, but they oddly kept spin and really kicked off the table. In topspin to topspin rallies, you had to speed up your timing some. Oddly, the bounce from an underspin at the table was consistent enough. You could expect where it would go, so that area was OK.
Thomas... I waz there... Only dude cheering for Koo S K in Korean.
Ball of tourney was Jolla Flash... a XSF seamless ball that is 9 Out of 10 times an egg and more fragile than one.
All in all, it was way better than their 40+ ball, which was an abomination to the sport of tt.

Yup. That is me... the Nexy Pimp. I require myself to wear Nexy shoes, Nexy shorts, shirt, carry around 2 or 3 Nexy bags and 12 Nexy bats at all times every time I go to a club.
