The Surface Polyamide Ultramid^® SI – The Entire Beauty of Plastics

Aesthetics, stability and a lot of design possibilities for surfaces: there are many reasons why the furniture industry and in particular chair manufacturers are turning to plastic as their material of choice. It is now possible to combine the look and mechanics of visible components in a way that has never been seen before.

Ultramid^® SI (SI=surface improved) is the surface polyamide that combines the mechanical benefits of polyamide with a sophisticated surface look:

High-quality surface look and feel
Stable because of polyamide as polymer
Tailor-made UV resistance
Flame-retardant grades available
Virtually unlimited choice of colors with masterbatches from BASF Color Solutions
