BASF Performance Materials takes a proactive approach to processing. We want to get it right, right from the start. Our engineers perform mold fill analyses and draw on one of the industry's most extensive data banks, which correlates material and design data with actual molding and part performance results. In addition, our technical support engineers go on-site to ensure successful startup and processing. If someone has trouble with a part, we'll troubleshoot, performing root cause investigation and analytical testing, to arrive at a solution for them.
We support as follows:
- Injection Molding
- Two-Shot Injection Molding
- Gas-Assist Injection Molding
- Overmolding
- Extrusion
