What is ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate)?

ASA is a unique plastic known for its incredible strength and resilience against the elements. It’s made by combining styrene, acrylonitrile, and acrylate rubber, resulting in a material that outperforms many other plastics in demanding applications.

What is ASA Vacuum Forming?

Vacuum forming is a cost-effective manufacturing process where a heated sheet of ASA plastic is stretched over a mold. A vacuum then sucks the plastic tightly against the mold, creating the desired shape. This method is perfect for producing a wide range of products, from simple trays to complex automotive parts.
