Material
ASA — Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate
ABS that does not yellow. For anything that lives outdoors, there is no argument.
Use it for
- Outdoor signage, terrace furniture, garden accessories
- Marine use: it takes salt and UV
- Exposed automotive parts, shutter end caps, blind clips
What it will not do
- Limited colour range
- Same heated-chamber requirement as ABS
- A few euros more per kilo

What we have learned using it
When a plastic part has broken after years outdoors, it is almost always UV. Remaking it in PLA guarantees it will fail faster than the original; in ASA, it will outlast it.

Names are the manufacturer's own and serve as the ordering reference. The colour runs through the material, it is not painted on — swatches are indicative, a physical sample prevails.

Values measured by the filament manufacturer on standardised specimens. A printed part will differ with orientation, infill and settings: we validate on a test part on request.
Technical data sheet (TDS) from the filament manufacturer, Bambu Lab, in English, as published on its store on 6 September 2026: mechanical and thermal properties measured on specimens, drying and printing conditions. It is the document to attach to a technical file; we also send it with the order on request.
