Reinforced Styrenics

ImageGlass Reinforced ABS & SAN
Asahi Kasei Plastics North America, Inc.'s Glass Fiber Reinforced ABS & SAN composites display the optimum combination of strength, stiffness, and practical toughness in styrenic base compounds. Glass fiber reinforcement greatly improves the load bearing capacity of ABS & SAN and moderately extends the upper usage temperature. The properties of Asahi Kasei Plastics North America, Inc.'s Glass Fiber Reinforced ABS & SAN may be varied through the selection of the base polymer and the level of reinforcement. Impact, heat, and chemical resistance of the compounds reflect the inherent characteristics of the base polymer selected for compounding. Injection molded Glass Fiber Reinforced ABS & SAN parts are compatible with most post-finishing and joining methods traditionally utilized for unfilled ABS & SAN.
