Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA)
Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate material has great toughness and rigidity, good chemical resistance and thermal stability, outstanding resistance to weather, aging and yellowing, and high gloss.
ASA is not only maintained the main characteristics of the ABS, it also combines the weather resistance advantage of acrylic to extend the product application for outdoor purposes.
Because of this attribute acrylonitrile styrene acrylate has been used heavily in the automotive industry, as well as several other outdoor applications.
Properties
- Good Weather Resistance
- High Heat Resistance
- High Impact Resistance
- Good UV Resistance
- Good Processability
- Good Color Stability
Applications
ASA resin is commonly used for outdoor and automotive applications due to its strong weather resistance, color fade resistance, UV resistance and mechanical properties.
- Exterior Siding
- Automotive Side Mirror Housings
- Signage
- Marine Applications
- Other Consumer Electronics
