White ASA Filament

What Is White ASA-GF Filament?

ASA-GF is ASA (acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile) reinforced with 10% chopped glass fiber. The glass fiber addition raises tensile strength, flexural modulus, and heat deflection temperature compared to standard ASA, while also reducing warping during printing and improving dimensional stability. The white color option makes the material particularly suited for outdoor applications where solar heat gain is a concern.

Weatherproof Longevity That Outlasts Rivals

Superior UV shield keeps white pure through harsh cycles.
No yellowing or chalking like lesser filaments.

• Survives 2000 hours direct sun exposure.

• Holds shape in -20°C to 60°C swings.

• Maintains gloss on rooftop prototypes.

Glass-Boosted Impact Power

10% chopped fibers double toughness over plain ASA.
Stands up to hail or tool knocks daily.

• Drops from 2m without shattering cases.

• Flexes 15% under 500N loads intact.

• Reinforces hinges for repeated snaps.

Technical Properties

• Glass Transition Temp: 106°C Higher than standard ASA, providing excellent thermal stability in elevated temperature environments.
• Heat Deflection Temp: 92-97°C At 1.8 MPa and 0.45 MPa respectively. This offers reliable engineering tolerance for thermal stress.
• 10% Chopped Glass Fiber Increases strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. Significantly reduces warping compared to standard ASA.
• Superior UV Resistance Maintains both color and physical properties under harsh weather conditions. The practical choice for long-term outdoor use.
• Dimensional Stability Glass fiber reduces thermal contraction, making ASA-GF more predictable for large functional assemblies.

Applications for White ASA-GF

• Outdoor Fixtures White reflects sunlight, reducing heat buildup. ASA-GF handles UV and thermal cycling without degrading.
• Automotive Parts Higher heat resistance than standard ASA/ABS. White color reduces solar absorption for exterior components.
• Agricultural Equipment Handles the combination of UV exposure and mechanical stress encountered in field environments.
• Marine Components UV resistance and weatherability in a color suited to marine sun exposure.
• Signage & Fixtures Holds its color and shape under years of sun exposure without the yellowing that affects standard materials.

ASA-GF Comparisons

• Vs. Standard ASA ASA-GF is stronger, stiffer, and warps less. Standard ASA is easier to print without a heated enclosure.
• Vs. ABS-GF ASA-GF offers significantly better UV resistance. ABS-GF degrades and embrittles under UV exposure unless painted or coated.
• Vs. PET-GF ASA-GF has better surface finish and chemical resistance. PET-GF has lower moisture absorption and is easier to print without an enclosure.

White ASA-GF for Outdoors

White ASA-GF combines the functional advantage of high solar reflectivity with the durability of glass fiber reinforced ASA. White parts absorb less heat from sunlight, which means lower surface temperatures during peak sun exposure. This matters for functional parts where dimensional accuracy under thermal stress is important.

The white color also means the part retains its appearance longer. UV degradation is less visually apparent in white materials than in dark colors, where chalking and surface degradation show more obviously.
