China SABIC ULTEM 2100 Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

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

Since 2025, multiple countries have introduced a wave of trade restrictions, with the plastics industry bearing the brunt. Thailand announced a ban on plastic waste imports, Japan fully prohibited products containing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the EU expanded its 16th round of sanctions against Russia to include primary aluminum imports, and the Philippines proposed a nickel ore export ban. These measures not only disrupt raw material supplies but also reshape the global plastics trade.

This article systematically expounds on the development process of China's special engineering plastics industry from the germination stage to the maturity stage, analyzes the current industry situation at the critical stage of transition, covering influencing factors such as policies, technologies, and the market. It also introduces the upstream, midstream, and downstream situations of the industry chain, including the supply of raw materials, production, and the demand in application fields. At the same time, it explores the opportunities and challenges of green development that the industry is facing.

Here is the English translation of the provided text, maintaining the structure, terminology, and nuances: From the Industrial Revolution to the Rise of the Polymer Industry Since DuPont invented nylon and coined the term "NYLON," launched the ZYTEL brand in 1954, and up to the present day, the modified applications of nylon and high-temperature nylon (HTN) in sectors like automotive, electronics, consumer goods, military, and aerospace have spanned over 70 years. However, the foundational equipment for modifying engineering plastics is certainly not something a 300,000 RMB extruder can handle.

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.
