Product type
SAN resin, or Styrene-Acrylonitrile resin, is a thermoplastic polymer that combines the properties of polystyrene and acrylonitrile. It is known for its excellent clarity, rigidity, and resistance to impact and heat. SAN is typically produced through the polymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile monomers, resulting in a material that is versatile and easy to process. Due to its favorable characteristics, SAN resin is commonly used in applications such as automotive parts, consumer goods, and electronic housings.
| Material Composition | Styrene and acrylonitrile copolymer |
| Appearance | Transparent to opaque |
| Density | 1.04 to 1.09 g/cm³ |
| Melting Point | Approximately 220°C |
| Processing Temperature | 210°C to 250°C |
| Impact Resistance | Good, with variations based on formulation |
When selecting SAN resin, buyers should consider the specific application requirements, such as clarity, impact resistance, and thermal stability. It is important to specify the desired grades and any necessary certifications for regulatory compliance. Additionally, buyers should indicate the required quantities and any specific processing characteristics needed for their manufacturing processes.
