The shrinkage rate of plastic reflects the degree of dimensional reduction in a plastic part after it is removed from the mold and cooled. Factors affecting plastic shrinkage include the type of plastic, molding conditions, and mold structure. Different plastics exhibit varying shrinkage rates. Additionally, the shrinkage rate is significantly influenced by the part's shape, complexity of internal structure, and the presence of inserts.

First plastic gas tank for commercial vehicles made of BASF's high-performance Ultramid® polyamide, which weighs up to 20 percent less than an aluminum alternative

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.

BASF compounds are advanced materials used in various industries for manufacturing high-performance products. But what exactly is a BASF compound, and why is it so important in the production of plastics, automotive parts, and other components? In this blog, we’ll explore the significance of BASF compounds and how they are changing the way products are made.

Driven by the rapid development of the electronics and information industry, high-thermal-conductivity plastics are gradually replacing traditional metal heat dissipation materials, gaining widespread adoption in critical fields such as LED lighting, semiconductor packaging, electronics, and automotive electronics.

Plastic DURACON POM (polyoxide), due to its outstanding mechanical properties and processing performance, has become an important material for many high-precision and wear-resistant parts, and its application fields are very wide.
