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

As a high-performance engineering material, glass fiber composites have shown wide application value in many fields due to their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and other characteristics.

Automotive engineering plastics are driving comprehensive technological upgrades and green transformations across body structures, exterior systems, powertrain-chassis, and interiors through innovations in lightweighting, high performance, and sustainability.

In the wave of the low-altitude economy, engineering plastics have become an indispensable "unsung hero" for drones and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, thanks to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. From reinforced nylon used in robust fuselages and landing gears, to polycarbonate forming transparent and impact-resistant canopy covers; from the stable performance of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in high-temperature motor components, to the exceptional strength that carbon fiber composites provide for rotors and primary structures—engineering plastics play a critical role in reducing weight, extending range, structural design, and safety protection. They quietly support the performance breakthroughs and commercial adoption of low-altitude aircraft, serving as a vital foundation for the ascent of this new economic paradigm.

Daicel Group announces the full integration of its subsidiary Polyplastics' engineering plastics business, effective April 2026. This restructuring aims to create a more competitive high-performance materials platform, combining Polyplastics' leading products and technologies in POM, LCP, and other fields. Through unified management and strategic synergy, Daicel will optimize global operations, enhance innovation capabilities, and provide more comprehensive and efficient solutions for automotive, electronics, healthcare, and other industries, strengthening its position as a global leader in engineering plastics.

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.
