“AS/SAN is a high-performance transparent thermoplastic resin known for its excellent clarity, high rigidity, good dimensional stability and heat resistance.”
Wenzhou Huishen Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. — AS/SAN Material Line
AS/SAN Resin — Acrylonitrile Styrene Copolymer
AS/SAN is a high-performance transparent thermoplastic resin supplied as clear granules — the crystal-clear pellets pouring from the jar in the photograph. It is the third of our material lines, alongside PP woven fabric and PP spunbond non-woven, and it is the resin behind our transparent drinkware and other clear moulded products.
Where clarity, stiffness and dimensional stability all have to hold through a mould cycle, AS/SAN is the practical choice. It processes cleanly by injection molding and extrusion, takes a glossy finish, and keeps its shape and transparency in service. Typical end products are cups and tableware, food storage containers, transparent household items, cosmetic packaging and electrical or electronic components.
Available in various grades to meet different industrial and commercial requirements. Grade selection is made against your part geometry, processing method and end use. If you are looking for the finished clear cup rather than the resin, see our AS/SAN transparent cold drink cups.
- ✔ Excellent transparency and glossy appearance
- ✔ High rigidity and mechanical strength
- ✔ Good heat resistance

Technical Specifications & Performance Data
The table below sets out the specification values of Huishen AS/SAN resin. Grades within the range differ in flow, impact and heat balance, so the governing figures for a given grade are those in its Technical Data Sheet. A lot test report is issued with every shipment.
| Property | Test condition | Huishen specification |
|---|---|---|
| Density | — | 1.06–1.08 g/cm³ |
| Melt Flow Rate | 220 °C / 10 kg | 3–20 g/10 min |
| Heat Deflection Temperature | 1.82 MPa | 90–100 °C |
| Tensile Strength | — | ≥ 60 MPa |
| Flexural Modulus | — | ≥ 2,800 MPa |
| Notched Izod Impact | 23 °C | ≥ 10 kJ/m² |
* Typical values, may vary by grade. Please refer to the specific grade's Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for actual performance specifications.
Chemical Resistance & Use Limits
AS/SAN shows good resistance to oils and fats, dilute acids and alkalis, alcohols and household detergents. It is not resistant to ketones, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons or aromatic solvents — confirm the contact medium before specifying a grade. Parts moulded from this resin are intended for cold and ambient-temperature use; they are not for microwave heating, hot filling, boiling or steam sterilisation. For food-contact, cosmetic and electrical applications, compliance with the regulations of the destination market must be confirmed against the specific grade's TDS and test reports before an order is placed.

Technical Files & Grade Selection
To recommend the right grade, send us:
- The end product and its intended use, with a drawing or photograph if available.
- Processing method — injection molding, extrusion or custom plastic manufacturing.
- Target flow, wall thickness, heat exposure and any drop or impact requirement.
- Whether food-contact, cosmetic or electrical compliance is required, and the destination market.
- Colour reference and expected order volume.
We supply the specific grade's Technical Data Sheet (TDS), sample granules, a lot test report and the relevant compliance documents on request.
Custom Grades, Colours & Moulded Parts
Send us your end product, processing method and performance targets — we will come back with a grade recommendation, its Technical Data Sheet, sample granules and a landed price. Sample material is available for qualified buyers before you commit to a run.
