Kimya ASA-S Natural 1.75 mm 500 g

The ASA-S filament by the French manufacturer Kimya is an acrylonitrile-styrene acrylate, which is very similar to ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadien-Styrol Copolymer), but offers improved properties in UV resistance and weathering sensitivity. 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 adhesive. To prevent warping or layer splitting, it is advisable to set the model fan or model cooling to less than 30% or disable it completely. In addition, drafts should be minimized, for example by using a cover. The Kimya ASA-S is ideal for 3D printing of objects intended for outdoor use or an outdoor exhibition. Home users often use this filament for garden applications, such as an anemometer or flow meter or for flower pots. Industrial users also use ASA, for example for prototyping in the automotive industry. In this sector, bumpers and fittings are manufactured from the plastic.
