Kimya ASA-S - mechanically resilient filament with improved UV resistance
The Kimya ASA-S filament from the French manufacturer Kimya is an acrylonitrile styrene acrylate, which is very similar to ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer), but offers improved UV resistance and weather sensitivity properties.
The material is therefore particularly suitable for outdoor use. Similar to ABS, ASA is also extremely tough and impact-resistant.
The filament is compatible with most popular desktop 3D printers. We recommend a heated print bed and a suitable print bed adhesion. To prevent warping or layer splitting, it makes sense to set the model fan or model cooling to less than 30% or to disable it completely. In addition, drafts should be minimized, for example with the help of a cover.
Applications of Kimya ASA-S Filament
The Kimya ASA-S is ideal for 3D printing objects intended for outdoor use or an outdoor exhibition. Private users often use this filament for use in the garden, for example as an anemometer or flow meter or for flower pots. Industrial users also use ASA, for example, to build prototypes in the automotive industry. Bumpers and fittings, for example, are made of the plastic there.
