PolyLite is a family of 3D printing filaments made with the best raw materials to deliver exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite covers the most popular 3D printing materials to meet your everyday needs in design and prototyping. PolyLite ASA is an alternative to ABS with an improved weather resistance. Its UV resistance and excellent mechanical properties make it the perfect choice for real life applications. UV Resistant - With excellent weather resistance (UV, water and heat) PolyLite ASA is the ideal choice for printing parts that must survive in the harsh outdoors. Most plastics tend to become brittle and their colour turns yellow when exposed to UV radiation or sunshine but with PolyLite ASA the appearance and mechanical properties of your 3D prints are not influenced negatively by UV light. Water Resistant - PolyLite ASA is resistant to Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC). This allows printed parts to face the outdoors, high humidity and rain over long periods of time. ABS Alternative - PolyLite ASA performs better in both thermal and mechanical properties compared with general ABS filaments. It also features a Vicat softening temperature of 105°C which slightly exceeds ABS. Excellent Printing Quality - PolyLite ASA prints parts with a beautiful matte surface finish, suitable for printing production parts. Made with only the highest quality materials, PolyLite ASA delivers excellent printing quality and reliability. Uncompromised Quality - With Polymaker's industry leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing, you can rest assured that PolyLite ASA will produce beautiful, reliable and accurate printed parts. Print Settings Mechanical Properties (X-Y) Thermal Properties Nozzle Temperature: 240°C – 260°C Printing Speed: 30mm/s – 50mm/s Bed Temperature: 75°C – 95°C Bed Surface: BuildTak Cooling Fan: OFF Other: When printing with PolyLite ASA it is recommended to use an enclosure. For large part it is recommended to use a heated chamber. Note: Printing conditions may vary with different printers and nozzle diameters.

Due to the nature of 3D printing they should not be used for design specifications or quality control purposes. Storage: It is recommended to store PolyLite ASA in the PolyBox to prevent moisture absorption which will lower the quality and the mechanical properties of the print. If the filament has absorbed moisture it can be dried at 70°C for 6 hours in a convection oven.
