Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN)

Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) Bristles for Brushes and Brooms)

SANs are thermoplast materials with good wear resistance, stiffness, heat-resistance and chemical resistance. It is used for general purpose polystyrol applications, where a little bit higher chemical resistance and heat resistance is needed. It has good mechanical characteristics, abrasion resistance and it’s dimensionally stabile. Because of that it is a widely used material in the brush industry.
