SAN Resin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Styrene Acrylonitrile Resin
- SAN Polymer
SAN resin supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover styrene acrylonitrile resin, a rigid thermoplastic copolymer supplied as pellets. The material is used where stiffness, gloss, dimensional consistency and the appearance of the finished part are important.
Commercial grades include general-purpose injection-moulding resin, extrusion grades and modified high-heat or high-flow grades. Buyers normally specify melt flow, acrylonitrile content or grade family, thermal performance, colour and any additive package required for the part.
SAN resin is used in appliance components, housings, display parts, packaging, electrical products and selected automotive or industrial mouldings. It is distinct from ABS resin, MABS and polystyrene, even though the materials may appear in adjacent applications.
Send the required process, grade, appearance, performance targets, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, pellet packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Styrene Acrylonitrile Resin grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General-purpose SAN injection grade | thermoplastic pellets | — | Injection moulding of rigid, glossy components and housings where clarity, stiffness and dimensional consistency are required. | Confirm the required pellet pack format with the quotation. |
| SAN extrusion grade | thermoplastic pellets | — | Extruded sheet, profiles and formed parts requiring the processing window and surface finish of a styrene acrylonitrile resin. | Confirm the required pellet pack format with the quotation. |
| High-heat or high-flow SAN grade | modified thermoplastic pellets | — | Appliance, electrical and technical components where heat resistance, melt flow or appearance is prioritised by the part specification. | Confirm the required pellet pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about styrene acrylonitrile resin
What is SAN resin?
SAN resin is a styrene acrylonitrile copolymer supplied as thermoplastic pellets. It is selected for rigid parts with useful stiffness, gloss, dimensional consistency and, in suitable grades, clarity.
Is SAN resin the same as ABS resin?
No. SAN is a styrene acrylonitrile copolymer, while ABS also contains a butadiene rubber phase. They are separate resins with different impact, appearance and processing profiles.
Which SAN grade should I request for injection moulding?
State the part geometry, required melt flow, colour or clarity, thermal performance and moulding process. A general-purpose grade may suit ordinary housings, while high-flow or high-heat grades are selected for tighter parts.
Can SAN resin be used for extrusion?
Yes, extrusion grades are used for suitable sheet, profiles and formed parts. Confirm melt flow, thermal limits, surface finish and downstream forming requirements before selecting the resin.
What information is needed for a SAN resin quotation in Malaysia?
Provide the grade or process, natural or colour requirement, melt-flow and heat-performance targets, quantity, delivery location and any customer approval or document requirements.
