BASF is expanding its range of partially aromatic polyamides and launching a new polyphthalamide (PPA) portfolio on the market. The portfolio with the name Ultramid® Advanced N comprises unreinforced compounds and compounds reinforced with short or long glass fibers as well as flame-retardant grades.

They exceed the properties of conventional PPA plastics: constant mechanics up to 100°C (glass transition temperature: 125°C), outstanding chemical resistance and low water absorption as well as low friction and wear. Ultramid® Advanced N enables short cycle times and a wide processing window.

The new product line is supplemented by detailed material characterization and the proven BASF application development capabilities. BASF offers selected grades for customer projects around the world from now on.
