SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) compounds are engineering plastics made by modifying base SAN resin with additives to improve performance.
🔹 Key Properties
High clarity (transparent material)
Good chemical resistance
Better heat resistance than polystyrene (PS)
Good surface finish and rigidity
🔹 Common Additives Used
Color masterbatch → for different colors
UV stabilizers → protection from sunlight
Processing additives → improve molding
🔹 Applications
Cosmetic containers
Food storage containers
Household products
Transparent and rigid parts
SAN mixed with glass fibers
Higher strength & stiffness
Improved heat resistance
Used in stronger and more rigid applications
Recycled SAN material available in different colors, used as a cost-effective alternative to virgin material.
