About This Raw Material

SAN is a copolymer of styrene and acrylonitrile. The acrylonitrile content provides markedly better chemical resistance and thermal performance than polystyrene while preserving clarity.

With high stiffness and dimensional stability it is used where transparent yet durable parts are required. It is harder but more brittle than ABS.
