ASA Filament
Winkle’s ASA filament is available in basic colors and is compatible with most 3D printers on the market.
ASA filament is well known for its high weather and outdoor resistance, retaining gloss, color and mechanical properties. It has good chemical and high temperature resistance, as well as good antistatic properties, being tough and rigid.
ASA is recommended to be printed at a temperature between 240-260°C, at a hot bed temperature between 70-100°C and at a speed of 40-60 mm/s.
It is important to note that ASA filament is slightly more prone to warping than ABS, so it is recommended to use a closed printing chamber and a hot bed adhesive to avoid warping problems.
Our integrated system certified to ISO 9001 and 14001 standards ensures that our processes are geared towards achieving the highest quality of our products and the lowest environmental impact of our products.
We care about the planet and the health of its inhabitants; our products comply with the demanding REACH regulation, which guarantees the absence of extremely worrying substances, and we are committed to the circular economy with the reduction of packaging and ECOEMBES management for the correct recycling and reuse of the same.
Properties:
Printing Parameters:
This filament is mainly used in outdoor applications due to its higher UV resistance and resilience to adverse weather conditions.
The ASA filament is perfect for applications designed to remain outdoors. This filament retains its shine, color, and mechanical properties even after prolonged outdoor exposure.
It also exhibits greater resistance to environmental stress cracking than ABS, a process in which thermoplastic products undergo brittle failure due to mechanical stress and exposure to reactive agents.
Limitations:
The ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) material is a thermoplastic similar to ABS, though the main difference lies in that ASA is an acrylic elastomer, while ABS is a butadiene elastomer.
The ASA filament is a thermoplastic composed of acrylate, styrene, and acrylonitrile, used in 3D printing with improved properties compared to ABS.
In this case, styrene provides the gloss of the thermoplastic, while acrylonitrile offers chemical resistance, good moisture absorption, and dimensional stability, and acrylate enables ASA to withstand strong impacts.
For the care and storage of ASA filament, it is important to keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption and ensure high print quality. We recommend storing ASA filament in a vacuum bag or airtight box to prolong its shelf life and maintain its physical properties.
ASA and ABS are durable plastics, but ASA stands out for its superior UV resistance and resilience to adverse weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor applications. While ABS is better known for its impact resistance and ease of machining, it suffers more from sun exposure, whereas ASA better maintains its properties under these conditions. In printing, ASA is less prone to warping than ABS.
ASA filament excels in chemical resistance and mechanical strength, while PETG stands out for its ease of printing and flexibility. Both are UV-resistant.
Another advantage of ABS is the possibility of obtaining consistent colors according to RAL and Pantone codes, something that can be more difficult with PETG due to its natural translucency.
ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is an evolution of ABS, further improving its mechanical properties and offering excellent resistance to harsh environments. This material is ideal for outdoor applications, such as automotive parts and power tool housings, thanks to its UV resistance and its ability to withstand extreme weather conditions without degrading.
