SPECIFYING UV-STABLE ASA ENCLOSURES

In recent years, we’ve specified ASA or ASA+PC – rather than ABS – as the standard plastic for many of our enclosures. They include models such as the wristwatch-style BODY-CASE, EVOTEC desktop and wall-mount enclosures, and CONNECT for wired and battery-powered electronics.

Meanwhile, our CARRYTEC handheld enclosures provide an interesting opportunity for comparison because they’re available in either ABS (UL 94 HB) or ASA+PC (UL 94 V-0) as standard.

But even if your preferred off-the-shelf enclosure isn’t moulded from ASA or ASA+PC, you can still specify these polymers as a custom material (please confirm availability). This also enables you to change the standard colour of the plastic at the moulding stage of the manufacturing process, rather than later on with lacquering (though that too is a good option that offers you an extremely wide choice of colours, finishes and textures).

List of OKW products currently moulded in ASA materials as standard:

1). ASA
UL 94 HB (Material name: ROTEC)

2a). ASA+PC-FR
UL 94 V-0 (Material name: LURAN)

2b). ASA+PC-FR
UL 94 V-0 (Material name: OKW blended ASA)

Materials are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change without notification. Please confirm material type at time of specification or ordering for your particular product selection.
