ASA-CF

ASA-CF combines a base plastic well suited to outdoor applications with carbon fibres for robust technical designs.

Base plastic: acrylonitrile styrene acrylate

Illustrative ASA-CF component
YOUR POSSIBILITIES

Typical applications

Rigid outdoor panels, equipment brackets, covers and custom housings exposed to direct sunlight.

YOUR BENEFITS

Why ASA-CF?

Weather resistance and fibre stiffness support dimensionally stable parts with a high-quality matt finish.

Performance profile

Heat deflection temperature (HDT)
up to 97 °C
Tensile strength
up to 48 MPa
Elongation at break
up to 3 %
Tensile modulus
up to 5,355 MPa
  • Outdoor applications
  • Sun exposure

Ideas for your application

Outdoor equipment, measurement and sensor technology, and workshop and vehicle accessories with appropriately matched service loads.

Surface and appearance

A matt fibre finish with low gloss.

Designing your part to fit

Account for drainage, assembly movement and thermal expansion. Radii at fixing points support long-term durability.

Finishing and post-processing

Mounting holes and mating surfaces can be post-processed; painting is possible after suitable preparation.
