One of life’s great little pleasures

The American coffee brand Bruvi® now uses Ultrason® E 2010 to manufacture the extractor lens in its coffee brewers. The complex injection-molded component is part of Bruvi’s unique auto-optimized brewing technique, scanning the coffee pod and then automatically adjusting the brewing parameters to the specific recipe for the optimal brew of each individual coffee. The BASF polyethersulfone (PESU) contributes to the durability of the machine by its excellent mechanical strength, its high heat and steam resistance up to 180°C, as well as dimensional stability at varying temperatures. The food-contact approved thermoplastic meets Bruvi’s standards for ensuring tastier coffee and hygienic brewing: It does not affect the taste of the coffee or gives off any odors. This allows Ultrason® E 2010 to outperform other materials which are used in coffee machine applications.

BASF Gastronomy relies on sustainable circular packaging with Ultramid Ccycled

BASF Gastronomy has been using high-quality products from Werz Wurst-Fleisch-Convenience GmbH in its company canteens at the Ludwigshafen, Limburgerhof and Lampertheim sites and in all event venues for many years. As part of a cross-value chain cooperation with SÜDPACK, a leading supplier of high-performance packaging films, Werz is now implementing BASF’s sustainable polyamide Ultramid® Ccycled® in meat and sausage packaging for the first time in the Horeca sector (hotel/restaurant/community catering).

New possibilities for challenging E&E parts with specialty plastic Ultrason® D

For challenging E&E components, BASF has now developed the high-flow Ultrason® D 1010 G6 U40. The blend based on polyethersulfone (PESU) is optimized to meet special needs for easy injection molding of energy-efficient parts in data and energy transmission, smart electronics and e-mobility. Because of its excellent flowability at lower processing temperatures the new BASF thermoplastic gives manufacturers greater flexibility when designing sophisticated switches, circuit breakers and sensors as well as IGBTs and semi-conductor parts like burn-in test sockets. Ultrason® D 1010 G6 U40 shows stable electrical properties at elevated temperatures with a high relative thermal index (RTI) and a higher comparative tracking index (CTI) than polyetherimide (PEI) and polyphenylenesulfide (PPS).

BASF receives Operation Clean Sweep® certification at all its European production sites for plastic pellets

All BASF's European production sites for engineering plastics, polystyrene, expandable polystyrene, polyurethane, thermoplastics polyurethanes, polyamides and specialty polymers are now certified by independent third parties according to the Operation Clean Sweep ® (OCS) standard. "With the successful certification of the polyamide production in Antwerp, the final milestone of this important project has been reached. We are delighted with this great achievement together with all teams involved in the proper handling of plastic pellets," says Sophie Van Dyck, Vice President Operations Polyamides & Precursors Antwerp. In total, 16 production plants for plastic pellets were certified at six BASF production sites in Europe.
