ASA

Applications

Since ASA comes in the form of resin, filament, films, or sheets, it can be used for a wide variety of manufacturing processes like 3D printing, thermoforming, injection molding, structural foam molding, and extrusion blow molding. You can also coextrude ASA filament alongside other polymers. In this case, only the ASA layer would be exposed to high temperatures and weathering.

The characteristics of weather resistance durability, color stability, and good PC/PVC capability have allowed ASA to become a broader and higher value resin that can be applied in Roofing sheets.

In addition, our ASA also reduces the secondary coating and electroplating processing costs, allowing its products to have cost reducing and environmental friendly features.

ASA specifications

ASA plastic is a tough and strong material known for its high impact, wear, and UV resistance. ASA can also withstand extremely high and low temperatures as well as several chemicals like saturated hydrocarbons, aqueous salt solutions, weak acids and alkalis, and many oils. Parts built using ASA have nice glossy surfaces and will retain their color, gloss, and mechanical properties when exposed to outdoor environments. When it comes to post-processing, ASA is well suited for many techniques, such as sanding, painting, milling, drilling, gluing, or cutting. You can also quickly smooth layer lines on ASA parts with acetone.
