China SABIC ULTEM MD131A Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

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.

Plastic DURACON POM (polyoxide), due to its outstanding mechanical properties and processing performance, has become an important material for many high-precision and wear-resistant parts, and its application fields are very wide.

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.

SABIC ULTEM™ 2310 is a 30% glass fiber-reinforced polyetherimide (PEI) resin that combines excellent flowability, ultra-high strength (tensile strength up to 169 MPa), and inherent flame retardancy (UL94 V0 & 5VA). It features a heat deflection temperature of 210–220°C, continuous use from -160°C to 180°C, and very low mold shrinkage (0.2%–0.6%). The medical grade (HU2310) offers ISO 10993 or USP Class VI biocompatibility and withstands multiple sterilization methods. Ideal for medical devices, high-temperature connectors, semiconductor tooling, and aerospace/automotive components, ULTEM™ 2310 is the all round ace for demanding injection molding applications.

SABIC LNP LUBRICOMP RX85514 is a high-performance, wear-resistant, self-lubricating engineering plastic based on nylon 66, reinforced with 10% aramid fiber and compounded with 15% PTFE and proprietary lubricants.

The Middle East conflict has disrupted Strait of Hormuz shipping, posing major challenges for imported engineering plastics including supply shortages, price surges, and extended lead times. We recommend extending procurement cycles, diversifying sources, and partnering with a professional trading company to mitigate risks and ensure stable supply.
