Ultradur^® Partially Crystalline, Thermoplastic, Saturated Polyesters derived from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

Ultraform^® Polyoxymethylene Engineering Plastics are designed for use in sophisticated components, and are used in automotive, medical technology, household, recreation, machine and plant construction applications.

Ultramid^® Engineering Plastic are based on PA6 and PA66, as well as on various co-polyamides, such as PA66/6. The range also includes PA610 and partially aromatic polyamides such as PA6T/6.

From the automotive and the E&E industries to mechanical engineering and consumer goods: the new polyphthalamide (PPA) portfolio by BASF - Ultramid® Advanced consists of five polymers with about 50 compounds. Widely used as a choice for metal replacement allowing greater design options, lower cost and lightweighting compared to parts made from metal.

Ultramid^® F Balance Novel Transparent Polyamides are based partially on renewable sources, and offer excellent mechanical performance, low density, good stability against chemicals and good adhesion to thermoplastic urethanes (TPUs).

Ultramid^® Endure Glass Fiber-reinforced Polyamides combine excellent heat aging resistance with the good processing properties of PA66.

Ultrason^® Polyethersulfones, Polysulfones, Polyphenylsulfones are materials especially designed for hot applications ‒ maintaining stiffness and dimensional stability when used at very high temperatures. Their wide spectrum of properties allows them to be molded into high-quality engineering parts and highly stressed mass-produced articles.

BASF has now succeeded in developing Ultramid^® Vision, the first semi-crystalline polyamide that allows light to pass through largely unhindered. Compared to opaque standard polyamides, Ultramid^® Vision shows very high light transmission with low light scattering.
