This article systematically expounds on the development process of China's special engineering plastics industry from the germination stage to the maturity stage, analyzes the current industry situation at the critical stage of transition, covering influencing factors such as policies, technologies, and the market. It also introduces the upstream, midstream, and downstream situations of the industry chain, including the supply of raw materials, production, and the demand in application fields. At the same time, it explores the opportunities and challenges of green development that the industry is facing.

In early March 2026, BASF, the global chemical giant, announced a move of profound significance for the Asia-Pacific market: its Shanghai Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) production facility has officially obtained the qualification to produce the full Elastollan® FR (Flame-Retardant) TPU portfolio. This marks BASF's successful achievement of localized supply for its entire range of flame-retardant TPU products—from Eco-friendly Flame Retardant (FHF) to High-Performance Flame Retardant (FR)—in China.

CYCOLOY™ CX7240 is a high-performance, non-halogen flame retardant PC/ABS alloy from SABIC. It combines PC’s heat resistance and impact strength with ABS’s excellent flowability, achieving UL 94 V-0 rating down to 0.75 mm thin wall while complying with RoHS and REACH. With a density of 1.19–1.20 g/cm³, MFR of 15–18 g/10min, tensile modulus of 2600 MPa, and water absorption of only 0.20%, it delivers balanced rigidity, toughness, and dimensional stability. Ideal for thin-wall precision parts in electronics & electrical housings, rail transit, medical devices, and smart appliances. Its halogen-free system produces low smoke and low corrosive gases, solving key challenges such as thin-wall flame retardancy failure, halogen compliance risk, and narrow processing windows. CX7240 is a reliable enabler for lightweight, high-safety designs.

ULTRAMID® A 216 Y10 is a BASF injection-molding PA66 grade modified with molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) lubricant. It offers excellent self-lubrication, wear resistance, mechanical strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability. Designed for precision components such as bearings and gears, it is widely used in automotive, electrical/electronic, and industrial machinery applications.

SABIC LNP™ THERMOCOMP™ DF006ER is a 30% glass-fiber reinforced polycarbonate (PC) compound that delivers outstanding rigidity, high tensile strength (up to 133 MPa), and superior heat deflection temperature (138°C at 1.8 MPa). Its excellent flowability and easy mold-release characteristics significantly improve injection molding efficiency and reduce cycle times. Moreover, the material is PFAS-free, helping customers meet stringent environmental regulations. This versatile grade finds broad applications in electrical and electronic components such as connectors and relays, automotive structural parts including instrument panels and headlamp housings, as well as pump bodies and valve assemblies. DF006ER is an ideal choice for replacing metal and achieving lightweighting without compromising mechanical performance.
