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.

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.

BASF and SABIC's specialty engineering plastics are driving innovation in the photovoltaic industry. Their high-performance material solutions provide PV modules with superior weatherability, lightweight design, and long-term reliability, effectively addressing harsh environmental challenges and empowering the industry to enhance efficiency and expand application scenarios for a sustainable future.

Polyoxymethylene (POM) has become a star material for precision gears due to its metal-like rigidity, excellent fatigue resistance, low friction coefficient, and outstanding dimensional stability. Beyond solving core challenges like wear and noise reduction, it enables innovation in office equipment, automotive components, and micro-transmission systems through lightweighting, design integration, and oil-free operation. Shanghai Weisa Plastic Technology collaborates with industry leaders like BASF and SABIC to provide comprehensive POM solutions—from high-purity Ultraform® to self-lubricating LEXAN™—helping achieve more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective precision drive designs.

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.

BASF Ultramid® B218EV30 is a 30% glass fiber reinforced PA66/6 copolymer that delivers high rigidity, excellent thermal aging resistance, and superior surface finish. With low shrinkage, dimensional stability, and good resistance to oils and chemicals, it is widely used in automotive engine components, high-voltage connectors, relay housings, and power tool casings. This material offers an ideal balance of mechanical strength, processability, and aesthetics, making it a premium upgrade over conventional PA66 GF30 grades for demanding structural applications.
