NAS clear copolymers by Nova provide stress hazing and surface crazing resistance superior to acrylic, and exhibit virtually no reaction to popular automatic dishwashing detergents, drying agents, and household cleaters. When sterilized by Gamma or electron-beams, NAS resins recover clarity quicker than acrylic, with minimal yellowing. Parts made from NAS resins are bondable by sonic welding and decorable by hot stamping, printing and silk-screening.
