China SABIC ULTEM AUT210 Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

In the global energy transition, the PV industry faces both opportunities and challenges. Choosing suitable materials is crucial for the performance and lifespan of the photovoltaic system. Polyamide Ultramid A3XZG5 R04, with its excellent electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and heat resistance, is an ideal choice for high - voltage system connectors. BASF also provides a series of flame - retardant materials to meet the diverse needs of the PV industry, contributing to the sustainable development of the industry.

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.

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.

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.
