Ultrafuse ASA
Date / Revised: 13.11.2019

Version No.: 2.2

General information
Components
Acetonitrile styrene acrylate based filament for Fused Filament Fabrication.

Product Description
Ultrafuse ASA is a high-performance thermoplastic with similar mechanical properties as ABS. ASA offers
additional benefits such as high outdoor weather resistance. The UV resistance, toughness, and rigidity make it
an ideal material to 3D-print outdoor fixtures and appliances without losing its properties or color. When also
taking into account the high heat resistance and high chemical resistance, this filament is a good choice for many
types of applications.

Delivery form and warehousing
Ultrafuse ASA filament should be stored at 15 - 25°C in its originally sealed package in a clean and dryenvironment. If the recommended storage conditions are observed the products will have a minimum shelf lifeof 12 months.

Product safety
Recommended: Process materials in a well ventilated room, or use professional extraction systems. For furtherand more detailed information please consult the corresponding material safety data sheets.
