For many electric and electronics (E&E) components, where stiffness and strength of polyamide 66 (PA66) reach their limit, BASF customers can now choose from a tailored portfolio of PA66/6T compounds: Ultramid^® T6000 is a high-temperature polyamide outperforming PA66 in mechanical and dielectric properties in presence of humidity and at elevated temperatures. 

The Japanese plastic products manufacturer Kyoraku, Tokyo, now uses BASF’s specialty plastic Ultrason^® to add a unique tableware design concept to their comprehensive household goods portfolio: It is called Amberware and is made of Ultrason^® E 3010 nat, an injection-molding and extrusion polyethersulfone (PESU) with improved toughness and high chemical resistance. The unique feature: Due to the original honey-colored tint of the PESU material, the plates have a light, transparent amber color. 

Ludwigshafen, Germany, 17 June 2025. As the world’s leading trade fair for plastics and rubber returns to Düsseldorf this October 8^th to 15^th, BASF is again on board – just as it has been since the very first K-Fair in 1952.

As the first Basotect^® customer, the room acoustics expert Bosig, Germany is now switching its product range to Basotect^® EcoBalanced. BASF's thermoset is the world's first high-quality melamine resin foam with a 50% lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) compared to Basotect^® standard grades.

BASF is now complementing its polyphthalamide (PPA) portfolio by Ultramid^® Advanced N3U42G6, a polyamide 9T with non-halogenated flame-retardant, which minimizes electro-corrosion of metal contacts in electric and electronics (E&E) parts for e-mobility. The PPA increases the safety and durability of high-voltage (HV) connectors in e.g. inverters, DC-DC converters and batteries of electric cars. Due to its high strength and stiffness over a broad temperature range, its outstanding chemical resistance and dimensional stability, the Ultramid^® Advanced N grade enhances the robustness and reliability of thin-walled HV connectors meeting growing industry needs for halide-free E&E components used in warm and humid conditions. The new Ultramid^® Advanced N3U42G6 is available in uncolored with UL-certified masterbatches but also as pre-colored version with high color stability for easy processing and excellent color retention after heat ageing.
