SMMA materials are used in applications across a range of industries including automotive, construction, electronics, healthcare, household, and packaging. NAS features an outstanding water-clear appearance, an extreme low-haze as well as a good thermal and chemical resistance. The optical properties of NAS are similar to PMMA, commonly known as acrylic. However, NAS has many material advantages when compared to acrylic solutions, primarily improved density and processing advantages for manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In 2023, INEOS marks 25 years since its inception<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On 5 May 1998, the first deal was signed to buy former BP site at Antwerp from INSPEC under the INEOS name, with 300 staff at a cost of \u00a380m.
