MAKE: How Plastics are Made Really Matters

Ultramid^® S3EK4 LD is a lightweight bio-based PA material with 30% bio-content:

• Lightweight and could float on the water
• Easy process coating with different colors at the frame
• Good flowability without further grinding

• High silicone oil content modified POM
• Excellent tribological performance in contact with POM and other plastic counterparts, avoids stick-slip effect
• Comparable impact/elongation performance with base POM
• No need for additional external lubrication - saves one production step

BASF Medical Ultraform^® used for worm gear in the dosing system for dry-powder inhaler application.

• Utilize the advantage of our medical certified grade with excellent product quality and supply to meet the mechanical & Class II medical device requirements.

• Elastomer-modified injection molding grade
• Highest impact strength with low stiffness
• Certified renewable organic feedstock
• Mass balance approach with ISCC+  (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) certificate and low product carbon footprint

100% of the fossil-based organic materials required for the manufacturing of this product are replaced by sustainably certified renewable organic feedstock.

• ISCC+ certified ensuring credible sustainability criteria for feedstock and the chain of custody
• Identical material performance with conventional Ultraform
• 100% certified renewable electricity used for production
•  ~70% lower product carbon footprint (LCA Cradle-to-gate) compared to conventional Ultraform^®

• The curing process of new and innovative cold-curing Polyurethane (PU) Insole and Midsole systems can be done at room temperature
• No heat or release agent is required
• Cold-curing technology can be used on the PU insole and PU sole
• Perfect PU skin with a glossy effect

A unique set of CMF sample plaques, co-created by BASF Creation Centers (China, India, and Japan) and Chris Lefteri Design.

The set is manufactured exclusively to showcase BASF PM materials to their fullest potential. The collection features samples using Elastollan^®, Ultramid^® Deep Gloss, Ultradur^®, Ultraform^®, and Ultrason^®, which not only inspire industrial design and CMF customers with their aesthetic potential but also allow them to test and evaluate mechanical properties.

Material Selection N°2 takes you on a journey to where overconsumption had its beginning. We are exploring the effect of consumer behavior on our planet and ways to overcome our quenchless desire for comfort through sustainable material solutions.

• Material: world of TPU + pyrolysis oil
• TPU as a shape-shifting material: it can be soft, hard, blown in foam, transparent, or very colorful
• Pyrolysis oil as a sustainable resource for technical plastics.

• Sustainable bio-based solution
• Good clarity with low blooming risk
• Anti-bacterial performance & easy coloring
• Good mechanical properties
• Approx. 50% CO₂ reduction compared to virgin fossil alternatives
• Strong bonding with other thermoplastics substrates like Polycarbonate, Copolyester

• 5G signal friendly: Low dielectric constant & dielectric loss, providing higher signal penetration
• Stain-resistant to denim dyes
• Durable with excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals & UV

• Excellent durability and flexibility - longer life span, avoid tear and crack issues
• Excellent mechanical properties and flexibility contribute to a thinner cable that is lightweight and soft
• Stable processability, good matte surface
• Bio-based contents up to 40% according to ASTM D6966-12, while maintaining same performance and processability

• Sustainable bio-based solution
• Excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance enhance the cable’s lifespan

• Synthetic leather made from Elastollan^® is a sustainable solution that can be recycled mechanically and chemically
• Made without the use of plasticizers or solvents, it emits low volatile organic compounds (VOC), contributing to better air quality
• Can be processed using existing manufacturing processes. So PVC manufacturers can utilize existing lines and ‘drop-in’ Elastollan^® TPU seamlessly
