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.

The shrinkage rate of plastic reflects the degree of dimensional reduction in a plastic part after it is removed from the mold and cooled. Factors affecting plastic shrinkage include the type of plastic, molding conditions, and mold structure. Different plastics exhibit varying shrinkage rates. Additionally, the shrinkage rate is significantly influenced by the part's shape, complexity of internal structure, and the presence of inserts.

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.

The PC/ABS alloy combines the high strength and heat resistance (110°C) of PC with the easy processability of ABS, widely used in automotive (dashboards, door handles), 3C electronics (laptop casings), communications (5G base station covers), and home appliances. It features UV resistance, flame retardancy (V-0 rating), and dimensional stability. Defects like silver streaks and warping are addressed through drying (120°C ×4h), mold temperature optimization, flow promoters, and structural design. Nano-enhanced (thermal conductivity 1.2 W/m·K) and bio-based modifications (40% carbon reduction) are expanding its applications in new energy and medical fields.

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.

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.
