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.

Ether-based thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) with excellent hydrolysis resistance Enhanced performance for a wide range of applications Sample-ready experimental grade product BASF presents a new ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane: Elastollan® 1400. The new TPU series offers excellent hydrolysis and microbial resistance, combined with stable processability and good compression set. The material has excellent burst pressure properties and can be processed by extrusion and injection molding. The aging stability of Elastollan® 1400 ensures long-lasting performance – a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.

Driven by the rapid development of the electronics and information industry, high-thermal-conductivity plastics are gradually replacing traditional metal heat dissipation materials, gaining widespread adoption in critical fields such as LED lighting, semiconductor packaging, electronics, and automotive electronics.

In September 2025, the Shanghai Visa Plastics team embarked on a four-day trip to western Sichuan. They tempered the team spirit amid the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, and gained innovative inspiration from the ancient Shu civilization at Sanxingdui. They supported each other during the plateau hike, practicing the corporate belief of "win-win cooperation"; facing the thousand-year-old cultural relics, the craftsmanship spirit and technological innovation resonated across time. This was not only an enhancement of team cohesion but also an in-depth awakening of professional craftsmanship. The Visa people will carry this harvest and work together to open a new chapter in plastic technology with greater enthusiasm and more solid collaboration.

Daicel Group announces the full integration of its subsidiary Polyplastics' engineering plastics business, effective April 2026. This restructuring aims to create a more competitive high-performance materials platform, combining Polyplastics' leading products and technologies in POM, LCP, and other fields. Through unified management and strategic synergy, Daicel will optimize global operations, enhance innovation capabilities, and provide more comprehensive and efficient solutions for automotive, electronics, healthcare, and other industries, strengthening its position as a global leader in engineering plastics.

The aerospace industry is undergoing a lightweight revolution powered by specialty engineering plastics. Imported high-performance materials like PEEK, PI, and PPS, renowned for their exceptional lightness, extreme environment resistance, high strength, and flame retardancy, are increasingly replacing traditional metals in cabin interiors, engine components, avionics, and UAV structures. Advancements such as composite reinforcement and 3D printing compatibility are further expanding their applications. Amidst market growth and sustainability demands, these plastics have become key enablers for efficient and green aerospace manufacturing, with a promising future.
