BASF’s Ultradur specialty grades such as flameretardant (FR) and hydrolysis-resistant (HR) are now available from India, marking a significant milestone in BASF’s commitment to delivering high-performance engineering plastics tailored to local market needs. This development enables faster response times, improved supply reliability, and greater flexibility for customers across India.

“The new localized supply of Ultradur is a strategic step that enhances our ability to serve Indian customers with speed and agility. It reflects our confidence in the country’s industrial growth and our commitment to supporting innovation in key sectors such as automotive and electronics,” said Andy Postlethwaite, Senior Vice President, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF.

Ultradur possesses exceptional dimensional stability, mechanical strength, rigidity, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and weathering. Its low moisture absorption and ease of processing make it ideal for precision components. Specialty grades such as FR and HR offer enhanced flame retardancy and long-term durability, making Ultradur a preferred material for electric vehicles, connectors, electronics, and industrial applications.
