Features
Weather Resistance
ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is known for its excellent weather resistance. Objects printed with PolyLite ASA filament can withstand prolonged exposure to outdoor environments without significant degradation due to UV radiation or temperature changes. This makes it suitable for applications that require durability against weather elements.
High-Temperature Stability
ASA has a relatively high glass transition temperature (Tg), which means that printed objects retain their structural integrity at higher temperatures compared to other commonly used filaments like PLA. This makes PolyLite ASA filament suitable for projects that involve functional parts exposed to heat or warm environments.
Impact Strength
ASA filaments, including PolyLite ASA, generally exhibit good impact strength and toughness. This property makes them suitable for applications that require resistance to mechanical stress or potential impacts, such as tool handles, automotive components, and more.
Ease of Printing
While ASA can be more challenging to print with compared to some other filaments like PLA, Polymaker's PolyLite ASA is designed to offer improved printability. It's formulated to reduce warping and improve adhesion to the print bed, helping to mitigate some of the common challenges associated with printing ASA.
