China SABIC ULTEM 1010X Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

By understanding their properties and uses, we can appreciate the significant role they play in shaping both the microscopic and macroscopic aspects of our world.

BASF, a global leader in the chemical industry, recently announced the launch of an innovative polyphthalamide (PPA) product, Ultramid® Advanced N2U40G5. This product is specifically developed to meet the stringent technical requirements of the new - generation USB Type - C connectors. The material is now locally produced in China and can be supplied to the global market.

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.

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.

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.
