ASA properties are similar to ABS material, but it is more resistant to ultraviolet rays and harsh weather conditions.
In addition, it has strong toughness, strong rigidity and high impact resistance.
The excellent weather resistance and mechanical properties make it more resistant to the effects of environmental aging.
The ASA material is often used in outdoor applications.
Example Application areas
-Vehicle
-Outdoor

Notes
The shrinkage of eASA material is high when printing. So a chamber to print the eASA filament is required.
Storage
How to store filament:
1. If you are going to leave your printer inactive for more than a couple of days, please retract the filament to protect the printer nozzle.
2. To extend the life of your filaments, put the release filament back into the original vacuum bag and store it in a cool, dry place after printing.
3. When storing your filament, please feed the loose end through the holes on the edge of the filament roll to avoid winding, so that it will feed properly the next time you use it.
