Baby bottles of the baby feeding and nurturing products brand Thyseed are now made of BASF’s high-performance thermoplastic Ultrason^®. The bottles for babies and toddlers benefit from the BASF polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) Ultrason^® P 3010 in several ways: It is approved for food contact and features excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance as well as resistance to superheated steam at 134°C. These properties ensure that the baby bottles are safe to use, while being lightweight and shatter-proof. They easily withstand the high temperatures in dishwashers and microwave ovens and can thus be reused many times without losing their excellent mechanical properties or their optical appearance. Thyseed and BASF have also entered into a strategic cooperation to explore the advantages of Ultrason^® for other products of Thyseed in China and beyond.
