China SABIC LEXAN EXL1494T Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

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

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.

Injection molding often encounters burn marks, a critical defect that severely impacts product appearance and quality. This article deeply analyzes the root causes of burn marks and proposes systematic countermeasures.

BASF Ultramid T6000 (PA66/6T) is specifically developed for miniaturized electrical and electronic (E&E) components, bridging the performance gap between PA66 and PPA. This material combines excellent flow properties, easy processability, and long-lasting color stability. It exhibits superior mechanical and dielectric performance over PA66 under hot and humid conditions, while its low moisture absorption ensures dimensional stability.

BASF Ultradur PBT, with its unique polymerization process, achieves a precise balance between hardness and toughness in the molecular structure design.

Traditional perceptions are being transformed as industrial-grade 3D printing evolves beyond prototyping into direct digital manufacturing. In this revolution, Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polyetherimide (PEI/ULTEM) are fundamentally reshaping the industrial landscape. PEEK stands out for its exceptional high-temperature resistance, outstanding mechanical strength, and excellent biocompatibility, making it the premium choice for aerospace components and customized medical implants. PEI, known for its inherent high strength and superior flame retardancy, has become the essential material for aircraft interiors and critical electronic components. VISA delivers expert analysis of how these advanced materials push the boundaries of design and manufacturing. We provide powerful digital manufacturing solutions for high-end industries, leading the new wave of future manufacturing innovation.
