High Productivity Plus Portfolio (HPP) – the bonus for cost-optimized & energy-efficient production
Production costs are crucial in the calculation of a component’s total cost. As a rule, the aim is always to achieve the lowest cost per unit. BASF has developed a new product portfolio with HPP– High Productivity Plus – grades, helping to significantly reduce cycle time and energy consumption in the production process. Initial tests with Ultradur® and Ultramid® show a potential reduction in cycle time of around 30%.
Characteristic of HPP compounds are their excellent flowability and accelerated crystallization. On this basis, it is possible to significantly reduce the required cooling times and hence cycle time. Significant cost savings can be achieved by switching to HPP compounds.
BASF currently offers the following HPP products: Ultramid® B3EG6 HPP, Ultradur® B4300G2 HPP, Ultradur® B4300G3 HPP and Ultradur® B4300G4 HPP. If required, HPP technology can also be applied to compounds with other glass-fiber contents.
