In modern firefighting equipment, the choice of material for helmet visors is of utmost importance. Today, we will delve into two high-performance plastics—PPSU and PSU—and their outstanding performance in firefighter helmet visors and other high-end applications.

Basic Concept of CLTE The Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CLTE) is used to characterize the degree of expansion of a material as temperature rises and to assess its risk of cracking under thermal stress. Understanding the relative expansion/contraction properties between different materials in contact is crucial for successful applications.

As a global leader in the chemical industry, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation has launched its new LNP™ ELCRES™ CXL polycarbonate (PC) copolymer resins, which possess outstanding chemical resistance. These special materials are highly suitable for helping customers in the mobility, electronics, industry and infrastructure markets deal with environmental stress cracking and premature failure that may be caused by increased exposure to corrosive chemicals. Besides having higher chemical resistance than existing materials, the LNP ELCRES CXL copolymer resins can also enhance the durability and reliability of components with excellent low-temperature impact resistance and weatherability.

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.

When the project is advancing, it is necessary to promptly respond to the technical issues raised by the clients and the troublesome matters they report, and help them solve the actual problems. After the products are sent out, it is necessary to visit customers regularly to ask about how they are doing with the products, listen to their thoughts and suggestions, and then continuously improve the products and services.

In the rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs), battery system safety remains the "Sword of Damocles" hanging over the industry. Thermal runaway, electrical spark ignition, metal corrosion—every minor risk could escalate into a fatal hazard. While traditional flame-retardant materials partially address these issues, their high costs, processing challenges, and corrosive side effects have hindered industry progress. As a global leader in chemical and material science, BASF has revolutionized this safety battle with its Red Phosphorus Flame-Retardant Ultramid® PA6. This breakthrough not only redefines performance standards for flame-retardant materials but also emerges as the ideal choice for EV core components, combining high safety, cost efficiency, and seamless mass production.
