Material
Glass Fiber ASA
Glass fiber ASA is ASA reinforced with chopped glass fiber, giving higher stiffness and about 10 °C more heat deflection than standard ASA while keeping its UV and weather resistance, though it is less ductile.

About
Glass fiber ASA is ASA reinforced with chopped glass fiber (typically about 10%). The fiber modestly raises stiffness and heat deflection under load, while ASA’s UV and weather resistance carries over. Ductility and impact strength drop; glass fiber ASA provides superior structural integrity and load-bearing capacity, which makes it ideal for demanding applications.
Glass fiber ASA is well suited to outdoor housings, enclosures, and rigid structural parts.
