Excellent Transparency and Gloss: AS resin is inherently a slightly yellowish transparent solid. While maintaining high transparency, NF2200AE delivers a high-gloss surface effect, making it perfect for products requiring premium aesthetic appeal (such as cosmetic containers and transparent housings).
Good Chemical Resistance: The acrylonitrile component provides NF2200AE with outstanding chemical stability, allowing it to withstand corrosion from common solvents like dilute acids, dilute alkalis, dilute alcohols, and gasoline. This ensures a longer service life for products in actual operating environments.
Good Heat Resistance: The heat deflection temperature of NF2200AE reaches up to 90°C (under a 1.82 MPa load), and its Vicat softening temperature is approximately 98°C. This allows injection-molded parts to fulfill requirements in standard high-temperature application scenarios.
Superior Processing Flowability: NF2200AE exhibits high flow characteristics, with a melt flow index reaching 26 g/10min under 220°C/10kgf conditions. It is highly suited for injection molding processes, effectively filling complex mold cavities, shortening molding cycles, reducing residual stress in products, and boosting production efficiency.
Outstanding Dimensional Stability and Rigidity: The combination of M-80 Rockwell hardness and a 327 MPa flexural modulus reflects the advantages of NF2200AE in balancing rigidity (resistance to deformation) and dimensional stability, showing excellent performance in precision injection-molded parts and structural components.
Leveraging its comprehensive advantages in transparency, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and excellent processability, Ningbo Formosa AS Resin NF2200AE boasts a wide array of application scenarios across multiple industries:
Household Daily Necessities: Cassette tape cases, trash cans, lampshades, transparent travel mugs, kitchen appliance components, refrigerator interior parts, etc. The rigidity and clarity of AS resin make it a preferred choice for daily transparent plastic parts.
Stationery & Office Supplies: Pen barrels, toothbrush handles, gel pen housings, etc. The high flowability and surface gloss of NF2200AE successfully meet the dual requirements of stationery products for aesthetics and molding efficiency.
Cosmetics & Packaging Containers: Transparent cosmetic packaging boxes, food containers, high-end cosmetic outer shells, etc. The high transparency and chemical resistance of AS resin give it an irreplaceable competitive edge in the cosmetic container sector.
Electronic & Electrical Components: Monitor housings, TV bases, instrument panels, battery boxes, junction boxes, and various switch enclosures. The dimensional stability and heat resistance of NF2200AE make it highly applicable for the injection molding of precision electronic and electrical parts.
Automotive Parts: Headlight housings, instrument dashboards, oil-resistant mechanical parts, etc. The resistance of AS resin to oils and chemicals accounts for its excellent performance in automotive interior components.
Additionally, NF2200AE can be utilized as a blending agent with ABS resin to modify and optimize the comprehensive performance properties of composite materials.
A: Yes. AS resin possesses certain hygroscopic characteristics, so pre-drying treatment before injection molding is highly recommended. The suggested drying parameters are 80-90°C for 2-4 hours, ensuring that the material moisture content is controlled below 0.1%. Insufficient drying may result in surface defects on products, such as silver streaks and bubbles, which impair transparency and cosmetic quality. Furthermore, prolonged residence time of the material inside the barrel during processing should be avoided to prevent thermal degradation.
A: Compared to GPPS, AS resin demonstrates significant superiority in impact resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. In comparison with PMMA, AS exhibits similar impact and chemical resistance but offers better flowability and processability than PMMA. However, PMMA outperforms AS in terms of weatherability and ultimate optical clarity. Consequently, NF2200AE is particularly suited for application scenarios requiring higher chemical resistance and processing efficiency, whereas PMMA might be a better choice for applications demanding extreme transparency and long-term outdoor weather resistance.
A: Ningbo Formosa AS Resin NF2200AE complies with the UL 94 HB flammability rating, and its combustion performance has been verified through relevant tests. Concurrently, the material complies with global environmental and safety directives including RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), REACH, and SGS certification standards, successfully satisfying the market entry regulations of major global regions (including the EU, US, and Mainland China). Formosa Plastics can provide comprehensive compliance documentation, including original factory COA (Certificate of Analysis), UL Yellow Card, RoHS test reports, and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), offering solid support for clients’ international trade and market access.
