Kimya Filament

The ASA-S filament from the French manufacturer Kimya is an acrylonitrile styrene acrylate, which is very similar to ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer), but offers improved properties in terms of UV resistance and weather sensitivity. The material is therefore particularly suitable for outdoor use. Similar to ABS, ASA is also extremely durable and impact resistant. The filament is compatible with most common desktop 3D printers. To prevent warping or layer splitting, it is a good idea to set the model fan or cooling to less than 30% or disable it completely. Additionally, drafts should be minimized, for example with the help of a cover. Kimya ASA-S is ideal for 3D printing objects intended for outdoor use or display. Home users often use this filament for use in the garden, for example as an anemometer or flow meter or for flower pots. Industrial users also use ASA for prototyping in the automotive industry, for example. There, for example, bumpers and fittings are made from the plastic.
