SAN (AS)

A rigid, clear plastic molded for parts that need more chemical resistance than polystyrene.

Example: molded SAN (AS)

What is it?

Better thermal and chemical resistance than standard polystyrene, with high rigidity — used in containers, optical components.

Key behavior

Strong optical clarity combined with higher rigidity and chemical resistance than polystyrene.

Why choose it

Clear rigid parts needing more chemical/heat tolerance than polystyrene provides.

Applications

Refrigerator compartments, cosmetic cases, battery covers.

Processing notes

A step up from standard polystyrene specifically for clarity plus chemical resistance.
