ABS/ASA

ABS/ASA

Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate was first introduced in the 70. The intent was to create a material like ABS but with better weather resistance. Our foamed ABS/ASA alloy process achieves a balance of durability and appearance, combined with the formability offered by ABS. This alloy is an odorless, water-insoluble, general purpose, UV resistant thermoplastic.

The ASA in the alloy exhibits mechanical properties like ABS and much better weather resistance. It is a polymer belonging to the family of styrene it is produced by introducing a grafted acrylic ester elastomer during the copolymerization reaction between styrene and acrylonitrile.
