Energy efficiency is an increasingly important aspect to consider, both from an economic and ecological perspective. The cycle time of the injection molding process plays a major role for the highlighted properties. To this end, BASF has developed Ultramid® and Ultradur® HPP, known as High Productivity Plus, which leads to significant reductions in cycle time and process energy consumption. First tests show a potential reduction of the cycle time around 30 %.

Ultramid® HPP is a high-performance thermoplastic resin that shows outstanding flowability, faster crystallization and ability to be processed at lower melt temperatures making it an ideal choice for manufacturers and product designers who demand the very best in terms of efficiency and performance.

Ultradur® HPP is an easy-flowing injection-molding grade with different glass fiber content for industrial parts with high dimensional stability requirements, for example for internal applications for vehicles, plug-in connectors and housings.
