ASA
Bambu ASA is a highly durable material that offers exceptional UV, weather, mechanical, and thermal resistance. Its unique combination of properties makes it an ideal material for printing outdoor models (plant signs, mailboxes, wind vanes, etc.) and structural parts that require long-term exposure to challenging outdoor conditions.

Feature
Bambu ASA offers extraordinary UV, oxidation, and aging resistance, providing effective protection against breakage and color degradation when used outdoors for long-term purposes. Compared to normal PETG or ABS, Bambu ASA can remain in shape even at a temperature of 100°C.

Suitables
Good UV resistance,Nice glossy surface, which is pleasant to tough,Tough and strong,Chemically resistant,Lower color fade,Can be smoothed with a solvent like acetone
Not suitables
ASA is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water from the air
May be tough to work with
May produce toxic smoke when burnt
Some grades and filaments cost much
ASA melts with some other plastics giving rise to moldings of poor strength
Can't withstand some concentrated acids, hydrocarbons, esters, ethers and ketones
