SAN copolymers Lustran® SAN Absolan®
Characteristic
Natural Colour transparent, light transmission up to approx. 89 %; colourable in a large number of transparent and opaque colours
Surface finish high-gloss; good mould surface reproduction
Chemical resistance resistant to a large number of chemicals
Heat deflection
temperature		 deflection temperature >90 °C for mouldings in service (depending on grade), VST/B 120: 104 to 105 °C
Dimensional accuracy
and stability		 high thanks to its amorphous structure; low, orientation-independent shrinkage and hence a low tendency to warp
Electrical insulation good; dielectric strength: approx. 30 kV/mm; volume resistivity: 1015 Ohm · cm; tracking: CTI: class > 450
Additional properties good flowability; grades permitted for food contact
