ASA, an acronym for Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate, is a thermoplastic material renowned for its durability and weather resistance, making it a favored choice for outdoor applications. Sharing similarities with ABS, ASA offers exceptional strength, toughness, and impact resistance, alongside impressive thermal properties. With a softening temperature reaching up to 100°C, ASA proves itself as a reliable material in environments where heat resistance is paramount.
General Use: ASA finds its recommendation in projects demanding robust mechanical and thermal performance, particularly in outdoor settings where exposure to UV radiation and varying weather conditions is inevitable. For detailed specifications, please refer to our Materials Data Sheet.
Tip: For most applications, PLA or PET are commonly recommended unless a heat resistance exceeding 75°C is necessary. In scenarios where UV and weather resistance are critical factors, ASA presents itself as a viable alternative to ABS.
