ASA/ABS sheets black grained custom cut

ASA/ABS sheets in black – the UV-resistant

Our ASA/ABS plates in black with a thickness of 2mm or 4mm are made in Germany. The plastic plates made of particularly impact-resistant ABS plastic have got on one side a special ASA top layer with a medium grain (see detail view) to enable the ABS plates also for outdoor use. The material is completely dyed black. This means that the sawing and milling edges of the ASA/ABS sheets also have a completely black color.

What is ASA/ABS

ASA/ABS is a special plastic in which a weather- and UV-resistant ASA top layer is inextricably coextruded with the ABS support by extrusion.

Comparison of ASA/ABS and ABS

ASA/ABS sheets in black combine the outstanding impact strength and high material hardness of conventional, black ABS sheets with the excellent weather-resistant properties of the ASA top coat, so that these special ABS sheets are also suitable for outdoor use without appropriate processing. The direct effect of UV-radiation thus causes no embrittlement of the material and also the deep black color does not fade.

You can order the ASA/ABS plates in black directly on measure in our online shop. Our trimming configurator allows you to easily enter the dimensions for width and length. You can choose between 2mm and 4mm thickness for our black, one-sided UV-resistant ASA/ABS plates. One of our qualified employees, cuts your plates exactly to your specifications on our modern CNC-controlled panel saws with a sawing tolerance of +/- 1mm.

Application examples for our black ASA/ABS plates

• ABS is suitable for the production of housings for notebooks, monitors and TV sets made of impact-resistant plastic
• ABS is used for the manufacture of body parts such as for example bumpers in the automotive industry
• UV-resistant ABS in black are also used for interior trim in vehicles.
• ABS in black with weatherproof ASA top layer is suitable for outdoor panelling
• and many more

Processing of our black ASA / ABS plates

ASA/ABS sheets are very simple and varied in processing. The 2mm or 4mm thick plastic plates with completely coloring in deep black can be sawed or milled. Also, the grinding or drilling of black ASA/ABS is easily possible and requires no special tools. The CO2-lasers, provided relevant equipment, is easily possible with the ASA/ABS.

Black ASA/ABS panels are ideal for thermoforming and deep drawing where the material is heated and drawn into a specific shape by vacuum.

The gluing, laminating and printing of ASA/ABS plates is theoretically possible based on the material properties. It should be noted, that a permanent film lamination (depending on the film thickness) on the ASA top layer due to the grain medium size is only partially realizable.

NOTE: Because of the grained surface structure of the ASA top layer, our black ASA/ABS plates are not provided with a protective film.
