styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer
Styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymer is a type of plastic made by combining styrene (the substance in polystyrene) with acrylonitrile. This combination results in a material that is clear, strong, and resistant to impact and heat. SAN is often used in making household items, automotive parts, and packaging because it is durable and easy to mold. Its properties balance transparency, toughness, and chemical resistance, making it a versatile material for various industrial and consumer applications.
