‘Ultrason(UltrasonⓇ)’, BASF's brand of high-value-added engineering plastics, has once again proven its functionality by being widely applied across various industries on the strength of the material's distinctive qualities such as high heat resistance and chemical resistance.
‘Ultrason’ is BASF's own brand encompassing engineering plastic materials such as polyethersulfone (PESU), polysulfone, and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), and it is produced under two product lines: ‘Ultrason E’ and ‘Ultrason P’.
As a high-performance material, ‘Ultrason’ can, by its nature, replace metals, ceramics, and thermosetting resins, making it applicable not only in the electronics, automotive, and aviation industries but also in various fields such as water-treatment filters.
△Ultrason P, based on its high impact strength and stability, heat resistance, and flexibility, is used in kitchenware such as pot holders as well as in piping and valves. In particular, Ultrason P 2010, launched this past December 9, offers improved resin flowability and chemical resistance compared to existing products, enabling complex geometric designs. In addition, it is used in aviation and electronic material components that require weight reduction, and having passed the food-contact certification standards of the United States and Europe, it is also widely applied in the catering industry for food containers, pots, and pans. △Ultrason E, with its distinctively dense pore distribution and high water permeability, is used as an ultrafiltration membrane for drinking-water purification. It not only effectively removes parasites, bacteria, and viruses in water but also possesses excellent chemical resistance, meeting the FDA and EU food-contact certifications for drinking water and food processing, and has been applied in the filter systems and showerheads of hospitals and hotels. Furthermore, based on its high durability, strength, and chemical resistance, it is used in various automotive parts such as headlights, fuse protectors, and connectors, and is also widely used in home appliances that require high heat resistance.
