Thai INEOS Styrolution SAN AS C552485

AS C552485 is an acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer (AS or SAN) material produced by Lanxess in Thailand. Here is the relevant information: 1. Physical and chemical properties: - Transparency: It has high transparency and gloss, allowing for a clear display of internal items, making the product more attractive. - Heat resistance: The Vicat softening temperature is approximately 110°C, and the deflection temperature under load is about 100°C, maintaining stability over a wide temperature range without deformation or the release of harmful substances. - Chemical stability: It is resistant to water, oil, acids, alkalis, and alcohols, but soluble in ketone solvents and certain aromatics and chlorinated hydrocarbons. 2. Mechanical properties: - High rigidity: The elastic modulus is among the highest of existing thermoplastics, with good resistance to deformation. - Good impact resistance: It can maintain integrity when subjected to external impact, reducing the risk of rupture. 3. Processing properties: - Processing temperature: Generally between 200-250°C. - Drying treatment: The material has hygroscopic properties and needs to be dried for more than one hour before processing. 4. Applications: - Packaging industry: Can be used to manufacture transparent packaging containers, such as beverage bottles and food packaging boxes. - Optical industry: Used to manufacture glasses, magnifying glasses, and other optical instruments. - Home appliance industry: Used to produce transparent outer shells for home appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines. - Automotive industry: Can be used to manufacture automotive lamp covers, dashboards, and other components. - Medical devices: Used to produce transparent medical containers and instruments.
