China SABIC ULTEM HU2310 Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

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

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.

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.

BASF, a global leader in the chemical industry, recently announced the launch of an innovative polyphthalamide (PPA) product, Ultramid® Advanced N2U40G5. This product is specifically developed to meet the stringent technical requirements of the new - generation USB Type - C connectors. The material is now locally produced in China and can be supplied to the global market.

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.
