| Styrene Acrylonitrile, SAN, copolymers have been available since the 1940’s. Styrene and acrylonitrile monomers are copolymerized to form a random, amorphous copolymer which generally contains 70 to 80% styrene and 20 to 30% acrylonitrile. This combination provides higher strength, rigidity, and chemical resistance than polystyrene, but it is not quite as clear as crystal polystyrene. The transmittance in the visible range is greater than 90% therefore it is easily coloured, it is also rigid, tough, resistant to greases, stress cracking and crazing, easily processed, resistant to food stains. The combination of transparency and resistance to oils, fats and cleaning agents make SAN very suitable for use in kitchenware. The ease of printing on SAN has allowed a number of applications in cosmetic packaging SAN is also hard wearing and is used in printers, calculators, instruments and lamps. |
