Asa Plastic Sheet

Its mechanical properties are very similar to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene abs elastomers.

Asa plastic sheet.

The resulting modified resin is similar to san and abs plastics but with greater resistance to weathering making it ideal for outdoor applications.

This type of copolymer has excellent resistance to uv irradiation it also has good chemical resistance and high impact strength. Base asa resins are sold under the trade names luran s basf plastic materials geloy general electric plastics and centrex monsanto chemical co.

Asa can be considered a uv resistant version of abs with its excellent weather ability and heat resistance. Asa resins can be compounded with other. When it comes to yellowing and gloss retention asa is significantly better than abs which. Acrylic styrene acrylonitrile copolymer asa is a thermoplastic elastomer.

Order in asa. Application properties description reviews. The natural color of asa in off white but the material can be colored. Not only can the physical performance of a part deteriorate but yellowing reduction in gloss and discolouration can also occur.

You can find asa in a form of resin used for molding or solid like filament film or sheet material. It is an acrylate rubber modified styrene acrylonitrile copolymer. Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate or asa for short is a modified form of san where acrylic ester elastomer aka rubber phase has been introduced during copolymerization. Low levels of yellowing are extremely important for applications where long term aesthetic and appearance is important.
