High-temperature-resistant BASF material in series applications at RUCH NOVAPLAST

BASF introduced a new, high-temperature-resistant material to the plastics market at the end of 2019. As a technical specialist, RUCH NOVAPLAST is constantly interested in new ideas to transform our customers’ requirements or even problems into solutions.

The ^Ultramid® particle foam impresses with a range of unique properties: high temperature resistance (up to 230 degrees Celsius), outstanding rigidity and strength as well as excellent chemical resistance, e.g. to fuels, oils and lubricants. The closed-cell foam structure also offers unique pressure resistance. A necessary property for use in crash-relevant components that are exposed to high mechanical demands. Component densities can be adjusted over a wide range from 150 to 600 g/L. This versatility also makes lightweight construction applications conceivable*.

RUCH NOVAPLAST is already successfully using ^Ultramid® particle foam for series applications.
