ASA is a material similar to ABS but with greater resistance and durability. It excels in high environmental stress crack resistance and can withstand harsh weather conditions and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Even after prolonged exposure outdoors, it retains its shine, color, and mechanical properties.
ASA filament is ideal for outdoor applications requiring durability and stability, such as automotive, signage, and aerospace industries. Its impact and high-temperature resistance make it perfect for components exposed to mechanical and environmental stresses, offering a long-lasting and reliable solution for various industrial applications.
