MAKE: How Plastics are Made Really Matters

Ultramid^® D 239F:

• Light weight and bio-based material
• Good warpage and easy for coating

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^®

• Upper part made with 100% recyclable monofilament fiber Freeflex TPU fiber
• The tongue of the shoe is made of PET fiber knitted with Freeflex TPU elastic fiber
• Replaceable midsole made with the lightweight, high-rebound, and bio-based Elastopan® N PU systems
• Shank of the shoe made with bio-based Elastollan® N TPU with 35% bio-content
• Outsole and cage made with bio-based Elastopan PU

• 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

Beating the drum of infinite possibilities. Through the macroscopic camera lens of the Particle Drum, fragments of material dance, vibrate and collide at random to form infinite colors and rhythmic patterns as a source of limitless inspiration for designers.

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.
