1. Superior Mechanical and Physical Properties:
ASA shares a similar structure with ABS, retaining excellent mechanical and physical properties of ABS as an engineering plastic.
2. Strong Weather-resistance (High UV Resistance):
Aging resistance of ASA is more than 10 times that of ABS, capable of withstanding degradation, aging, and fading caused by UV exposure. It also offers robust protection against decomposition or discoloration resulting from high temperatures during oxidation processing. This significantly enhances the material's anti-aging and weather-resistant properties, making it suitable and durable for outdoor applications where it can endure prolonged direct sunlight without color fading.
3. Enhanced Heat Resistance:
ASA boasts better high-temperature resistance, providing an advantage in applications that need to withstand higher temperatures.
4. Anti-static Material:
Its anti-static properties minimize dust accumulation on surfaces.
5. Water Resistance:
Even in wet environments or prolonged submersion in rainwater, ASA maintains its properties without being affected.
6. Good Flowability:
With a good melt index, the printing process can be more smoother, resulting in improved surface finish and overall quality of the printed parts.
7. Strong Chemical Resistance:
It exhibits excellent resistance to chemical corrosion.
8. Solubility in Acetone:
ASA can be dissolved in acetone for bonding and smoothing purposes.
