China SABIC ULTEM MD131A Manufacturer, Supplier, Factory

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.

SABIC polymers are high-performance plastics produced by SABIC, a global diversified chemicals company headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. These polymers are integral to various industries, including automotive, healthcare, electronics, and packaging, due to their exceptional properties and versatility.

NORYL is a NORYL resin owned by SABIC. NORYL was previously a trademark of GE and is the symbol of polyphenylene ether (PPO) resins in the group. It is one of the world's five major general engineering plastics. They combine the high heat resistance of polyphenylene ether resins at a low cost, good electrical properties, excellent hydrolytic stability, and the ability to be packaged with halogen-free flame retardants, with excellent dimensional stability, good processability, and low specific gravity. NORYL resins have good mechanical and chemical properties and may be suitable for a wide variety of applications.

High-Performance PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) Film with Broad Application Prospects PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is a high-performance specialty engineering plastic, classified as a high molecular weight crystalline polymer with a density of 1.35 g/cm³. It features a linear molecular structure formed by alternating benzene rings and sulfur atoms. The combination of rigid benzene rings and flexible thioether linkages endows PPS with outstanding properties, including excellent heat resistance, flame retardancy, chemical corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability.

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.

Basic Concept of CLTE The Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CLTE) is used to characterize the degree of expansion of a material as temperature rises and to assess its risk of cracking under thermal stress. Understanding the relative expansion/contraction properties between different materials in contact is crucial for successful applications.
