China BASF Ultradur B4520 Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

Facing rising material costs, manufacturers can significantly cut expenses by switching from traditional painted or two-shot molded automotive B/C pillar trims to high-gloss PC/ASA/PMMA—a paint-free, single-shot solution. This eliminates painting defects, reduces equipment needs, and saves 101 RMB per vehicle (20M RMB/year at scale), while improving heat resistance and design flexibility. Success depends on material-performance alignment, process optimization, and supplier collaboration. Strategic material substitution, not just cheaper alternatives, drives sustainable cost reduction.

The PC/ABS alloy combines the high strength and heat resistance (110°C) of PC with the easy processability of ABS, widely used in automotive (dashboards, door handles), 3C electronics (laptop casings), communications (5G base station covers), and home appliances. It features UV resistance, flame retardancy (V-0 rating), and dimensional stability. Defects like silver streaks and warping are addressed through drying (120°C ×4h), mold temperature optimization, flow promoters, and structural design. Nano-enhanced (thermal conductivity 1.2 W/m·K) and bio-based modifications (40% carbon reduction) are expanding its applications in new energy and medical fields.

As a global leader in the chemical industry, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation has launched its new LNP™ ELCRES™ CXL polycarbonate (PC) copolymer resins, which possess outstanding chemical resistance. These special materials are highly suitable for helping customers in the mobility, electronics, industry and infrastructure markets deal with environmental stress cracking and premature failure that may be caused by increased exposure to corrosive chemicals. Besides having higher chemical resistance than existing materials, the LNP ELCRES CXL copolymer resins can also enhance the durability and reliability of components with excellent low-temperature impact resistance and weatherability.

In modern firefighting equipment, the choice of material for helmet visors is of utmost importance. Today, we will delve into two high-performance plastics—PPSU and PSU—and their outstanding performance in firefighter helmet visors and other high-end applications.

High-Performance PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) Film with Broad Application Prospects PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is a high-performance specialty engineering plastic, classified as a high molecular weight crystalline polymer with a density of 1.35 g/cm³. It features a linear molecular structure formed by alternating benzene rings and sulfur atoms. The combination of rigid benzene rings and flexible thioether linkages endows PPS with outstanding properties, including excellent heat resistance, flame retardancy, chemical corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability.

When the project is advancing, it is necessary to promptly respond to the technical issues raised by the clients and the troublesome matters they report, and help them solve the actual problems. After the products are sent out, it is necessary to visit customers regularly to ask about how they are doing with the products, listen to their thoughts and suggestions, and then continuously improve the products and services.
