China SABIC ULTEM 8015 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

With the increasing demand for high-frequency and high-speed transmission, PEI has reduced its dielectric constant to below 3.0 (at 1 GHz) through molecular structure optimization (such as the introduction of fluorinated groups), making it a core material for 5G millimeter-wave connectors.

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

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.

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.

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.
