Advantages of ASA vs. ABS
ASA is a more suitable material for outdoor applications where durability and resistance to weathering are crucial.
Weather and Chemical Resistance
- ABS contains butadiene rubber, which degrades under UV exposure, leading to discoloration and deformation.
- ASA incorporates acrylate rubber, which lacks double bonds, thus offering:
- Superior UV resistance
- Increased resistance to certain everyday chemicals
