BASF's new range of PPA: replacing more metals

October 12, 2018 – Following the launch of the Ultramid® Advanced N series, BASF launched another series of polyphthalamide (PPA) at the FLASTMA exhibition: Ultramid® Advanced T1000 – based on A new range of polyamide 6T/6I compounds. In the Ultramid range, the Ultramid Advanced T1000 series offers the highest strength and stiffness and exhibits temperatures up to 120 ° C (dry) and 80 ° C (wet). Stable mechanical properties. Due to the aromatic chemical structure of the material, it has a high degree of moisture resistance and corrosion resistance - superior to the traditional polyamide and many other PPA materials on the market. Ultramid Advanced T1000 is an excellent product line. Combining BASF's many years of application experience and existing technical expertise, it is suitable for various industries.

Robust, stable materials for challenging applications. For example, this product line can be used in the automotive industry, especially in areas where materials need to remain rugged regardless of temperature and climatic conditions, as well as resistant to moisture or chemicals. Other industries required by the product.

Abdullah Shaikh, head of BASF's global PPA team, said: 'The new materials used to replace metals are the key to developing the next generation of lightweight, high-performance components. In recent years, due to the constant pursuit of miniaturization, achieving higher efficiency and functional integration goals. Development trends, the demand for materials in the market has increased dramatically. BASF is currently expanding its PPA portfolio to provide customers with the plastic products they need to meet their technical challenges.

Cutting-edge technology components for multiple industries

With its outstanding performance, the Ultramid Advanced T1000 series can be used in a wide range of demanding technical components: thermostat housings and pumps, fuel lines and selective catalytic reduction systems, automotive actuators and clutch components, and coffee machines, Architectural applications such as furniture fittings and ducting pipes, heating systems and pumps, ie applications requiring high and constant stiffness and strength over a wide temperature range of -40 ° C to 80 ° C (conditional). In terms of medium (including high temperature coolant, oil, corrosive fuel and snow melting salt for roads containing calcium or zinc salts), the new PPA materials also have higher chemical resistance than traditional aliphatic polyamides. The water absorption of the material is lower than that of multiple aliphatic polyamides, providing high stability and stable physical and mechanical properties even in wet conditions. Ultramid Advanced T1000 is suitable for injection molding. Ultramid Advanced T1000 grade, other polyamide or poly There are various possibilities in the post-treatment of phthalamide (such as laser marking or welding).

Multi-purpose product portfolio

BASF offers a range of versatile T1000 modified materials for a wide range of applications. The initial product portfolio includes: Thermally stable reinforced fiberglass standards with grades between 30% and 60% and different stiffness, strength and toughness values. Grade; reinforced glass fiber grade with enhanced grade 35% or 45% and improved hydrolysis resistance; and special reinforced glass fiber, high heat stability compound with excellent mechanical properties, especially at higher temperatures. According to the requirements of each application, we can provide various grade products with different heat stabilizers.
