BASF Showcasing New Plastics Standards in Flame Retardancy and Electrical Insulation

On the occasion of this year’s International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing (Fakuma), BASF is showcasing on its virtual platform two new high-performance plastics, Ultradur® B 4440 and Ultramid® B3U42G6, adding innovations in the field of flame-retardant and highly insulating polymers to its existing portfolio. These two new products successfully combine material innovation and sustainability by avoiding the use of antimony and halogen compounds. “The new Ultramid® and Ultradur® grades mean that we are able to offer our partners from key industries solutions for the increasing regulatory requirements in the areas of electrical systems and fire protection,” says Dr. Michael Roth, Product Developer at BASF Performance Materials.
