ASA / ABS plastic sheet is a multilayer sheet with guaranteed weather resistance for a period of more than 5 years. ASA / ABS plastic sheet combines a high impact resistance of ABS plastic, even at sub-zero temperatures, as well as excellent weathering and UV resistance of an ASA (acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate copolymer) co-extrusion layer. ASA allows to operate products even in the Krasnodar Region with it`s high temperature without changing color and physical and mechanical characteristics for a long time.
ASA / ABS plastic sheets can have both a matte and glossy surface (like an ABS / PMMA sheet). But unlike ABS / PMMA sheet, ASA / ABS plastic sheet has higher durability and elasticity.

Additional Information
ASA / ABS sheet plastic can be used for the manufacture of thermoformed parts for both interior and exterior decoration of cars, buses, tractors, etc. (panels, roofs, moldings, radiator grilles, etc.), cases for suitcases, furniture, interior decoration, outdoor advertising products, lighting equipment, housings for household appliances, construction, etc
ASA / ABS plastic sheet is a multilayer sheet. It combines a high mechanical strength of ABS plastic which is retained even at sub-zero temperatures and an excellent resistance to weathering and UV radiation provided by an ACA layer (copolymer of acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate).
The surface of the ASA / ABS plastic sheet can be matte or glossy (like ABS / PMMA). However, unlike the latter, ASA / ABS plastic sheet has a higher impact and bending resistance. ASA / ABS material is chemically inert towards oils, fats, solutions of salts, alkalis and dilute acids. Plastic sheets are not resistant to concentrated solutions and organic solvents.
Methyl ethyl ketones or two-component adhesives can be used as bonding materials.
ASA / ABS plastic sheets can be milled, glued, laser cut, die-cut, friction welded, thermal and ultrasonic welded.
