With Ultramid^® B3K BK00464 from BASF, the BOOXit transport box relies on a high-performance polyamide 6 designed for demanding logistics applications. The easy-flow material combines high strength, durability and efficient injection molding processing, characteristics that are particularly valuable for reusable transport boxes for use in parcel, healthcare, and industrial logistics.

Geopolitical uncertainties, regulatory requirements, and increasing performance expectations are reshaping the plastics industry. At Fakuma 2026, BASF will demonstrate under the guiding theme #OurPlasticsJourney how the perceived trade-offs between sustainability, resilience, and performance can be overcome.

As sustainability becomes an increasingly important business priority, driven by growing expectations for transparency, CO₂ reduction, and circularity across the value chain, companies are looking for practical solutions to accelerate their transformation.

The MSA M1 self-contained breathing apparatus uses a carrier plate made of Ultramid^® A3XZC3 ESD, which combines flame retardancy, high mechanical strength, and defined electrical properties. The highly impact-modified, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic proves itself not only in demanding technical applications but also in daily use – for example with BASF’s plant fire brigade.

Comotomo, a leading Korean manufacturer of innovative infant care products, now uses colored Ultrason^® P 2010 in its next-generation baby bottle to achieve the desired color without compromising safety. The bottle’s silicone body incorporates an over-molded ring made of the BASF polyphenylsulfone Ultrason^® P 2010 (PPSU) as a high-quality base polymer combined with a specific blue color using Avient’s Colorant Chromatics^™ high-temperature color formulation expertise for color concentrates and pre-colored solutions. This combination provides the bottle with full rigidity and ensures a safe feeding experience for infants as the colored PPSU is approved for food contact according to all important standards like FDA, FC and GB.
