BASF Performance Materials:

Together with you, our inspired team creates the solutions of tomorrow.

For you, we combine cutting-edge solutions with established expertise. Bring us your ideas and we turn them into reality together!

You need more than just a product to solve your challenges. You need a variety of high-performance materials, application, engineering, simulation and manufacturing know-how to get the job done. Backed by our global team of industry-leading experts, we want to help you take your product to the next level. That means accelerating innovation, embracing digitalization and focusing on sustainability. We are ready to create the solutions of tomorrow with you! 

What can we create together in your industry?

Meet our biopolymers and polyphthalamides!

Biopolymers
BASF’s biopolymers are certified compostable and partly bio-based plastics which contribute to a circular economy by increasing organic recycling and closing the loop of the food value chain.
Polyphthalamides
Ultramid® Advanced is the polyphthalamide portfolio by BASF for high-performance parts that reliably work also under demanding application conditions.

How do we want to create the solutions for tomorrow with you?

Material Testing
We offer our customers a comprehensive range of services with leading technologies and products. In our laboratories we execute plastic-related tests for various applications.
Development engineers Rie Kaneko and Torsten Hensel discuss the structure of the lightweight comfort seat using a cross-section model. By means of the e-textile technology used, the seat heating can be directly embedded in the textile and is thus close to the body. Elastoflex® flexible foams in the sitting areas save up to 20 percent weight and at the same time provide ergonomic advantages by means of various hardness zones. Print free of charge.

Product Support & Troubleshooting
With our calculation tools, information databases and FAQ we aim at helping you in answering technical questions related to our portfolio of performance polymers.
Bei der Gestaltung der einteiligen, selbsttragenden Kunststoff-Sitzschale wurde das inzwischen universell einsetzbare Computersimulationsinstrument ULTRASIMTM der BASF SE eingesetzt. In der  Entwicklungsphase wurde die Sitzschale aus dem Kunststoff Ultramid® mit Hilfe des Simulationsinstruments virtuell ausgelegt. Die BASF-Entwickler nutzten dies unter anderem zur Konstruktionsberechnung und zur Belastungssimulation der Sitzschale.

In the design of the one-piece, self-supporting plastic seat shell, use was made of what is now BASF’s universal computer simulation instrument ULTRASIMTM. In the development phase, the seat shell of the plastic Ultramid® was virtually designed by means of the simulation instrument. The BASF developers used this for example to calculate the construction and for the stress simulation of the seat shell.
