China BASF Ultrason E2020PSRmicro Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

Basf is one of the world's largest chemical companies with a presence in 93 countries. We have 234 production sites around the world. In 1865, BASF laid the foundation for the concept of integration in Ludwigshafen

Since 2025, multiple countries have introduced a wave of trade restrictions, with the plastics industry bearing the brunt. Thailand announced a ban on plastic waste imports, Japan fully prohibited products containing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the EU expanded its 16th round of sanctions against Russia to include primary aluminum imports, and the Philippines proposed a nickel ore export ban. These measures not only disrupt raw material supplies but also reshape the global plastics trade.

Special engineering plastics, as the pinnacle of the field of polymer materials, are a class of high-end engineering plastics with characteristics such as high temperature resistance (long-term operating temperature > 150°C), high strength, and corrosion resistance. Their core value lies in achieving metal substitution through unique molecular structure design, playing an irreplaceable role in strategic industries such as aerospace, new energy, and electronic information. Currently, the global industry is undergoing a structural upgrade from general-purpose plastics to high-performance materials. Special engineering plastics, with their revolutionary advantage of "replacing steel with plastics," have become a key material for the transformation and upgrading of advanced manufacturing.

Engineering plastics with exceptional heat resistance maintain robust mechanical properties in high-temperature environments, making them indispensable for demanding applications. Beyond widely known high-temperature nylons, five other categories of heat-resistant engineering plastics play critical roles across industries.

Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), hailed as "transparent gold," is a high-performance specialty engineering plastic. It combines exceptional high-temperature resistance, impact toughness, and medical-grade safety. Widely used in medical devices, infant products, aerospace, and new energy vehicles, PPSU serves as a critical material in high-end manufacturing, enabling innovative solutions across industries that demand reliability, durability, and transparency.

In early March 2026, BASF, the global chemical giant, announced a move of profound significance for the Asia-Pacific market: its Shanghai Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) production facility has officially obtained the qualification to produce the full Elastollan® FR (Flame-Retardant) TPU portfolio. This marks BASF's successful achievement of localized supply for its entire range of flame-retardant TPU products—from Eco-friendly Flame Retardant (FHF) to High-Performance Flame Retardant (FR)—in China.
