In modern firefighting equipment, the choice of material for helmet visors is of utmost importance. Today, we will delve into two high-performance plastics—PPSU and PSU—and their outstanding performance in firefighter helmet visors and other high-end applications.

By understanding their properties and uses, we can appreciate the significant role they play in shaping both the microscopic and macroscopic aspects of our world.

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.

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.

As a high-performance engineering material, glass fiber composites have shown wide application value in many fields due to their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and other characteristics.

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.
