CEH: Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Resins

Apr 2021. Styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resins are optically clear resins applied in a variety of end uses, including housewares and consumer goods, various compounded products, packaging, appliances (electrical and electronic), medical applications, and certain automotive applications. In these markets, SAN is used for its rigidity, clarity, excellent gloss, heat resistance, good processability, load-bearing strength, and resistance to chemicals. Acrylics, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and clear ABS are among the main competitors of SAN resins. SAN markets have continued to move to Asia, with mainland China accounting for about half of global consumption in 2020. Mainland Chinese demand will continue to drive regional and global consumption of and trade in SAN resins.
