China SABIC ULTEM 2210K Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

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.

Ether-based thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) with excellent hydrolysis resistance Enhanced performance for a wide range of applications Sample-ready experimental grade product BASF presents a new ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane: Elastollan® 1400. The new TPU series offers excellent hydrolysis and microbial resistance, combined with stable processability and good compression set. The material has excellent burst pressure properties and can be processed by extrusion and injection molding. The aging stability of Elastollan® 1400 ensures long-lasting performance – a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.

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.

With the popularity of electric vehicles around the world, the technical requirements for key components are also increasing.

Engineering plastics with exceptional heat resistance maintain robust mechanical properties in high-temperature environments, making them indispensable for demanding applications. Beyond widely known high-temperature nylons, five other categories of heat-resistant engineering plastics play critical roles across industries.

Since New Year's Day in 2025, the trading atmosphere in the plastics market has gradually weakened, and there is a strong wait - and - see sentiment in the market. However! The ex - factory quotation of Zhenjiang Chi Mei ABS has been raised by 400 yuan per ton. The ex - factory quotation of Ningbo Formosa Plastics ABS has been raised by 100 yuan per ton. Ultimately, this trend is driven by the three major raw materials. Not only has butadiene achieved a single - day increase of 1000 yuan, but the price of acrylonitrile has also been rising continuously, making it difficult for the price of ABS to decline. Butadiene: Soaring by 1000 yuan in a single day
