Description

PC/ASA blends provide very good UV-Stability and surface properties. They are widely used for exterior parts in automotive applications. This material can be used to avoid the painting process. PC/ASA blends can be used in injection molding including flame retardant applications. Benefits and features:


  • High gloss and matte surfaces
  • High temperature stability
  • Excellent UV stability and high Impact strength at low temperatures
  • This material data has been provided by M-Base.

    "Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
    All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
    Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
