? Ultramid? Low moisture absorption and high temperature resistance ensure dimensional stability of the rear bumper bracket in wet environment? The rear bumper bracket made of high-performance material solutions can withstand chemical corrosion caused by snow melting salt
Moton, an international sporting goods and auto parts supplier based in Japan, recently used BASF's Ultramid? Balance innovative polyamide (PA) solution to produce a new rear bumper bracket, a part used to protect the underbody. At present, the product has been used in Mazda's new Mazda 3 and cx-30 models.
Yasumoto, senior consultant of moton body product development business department, said: "the rear bumper bracket not only faces the corrosion of various chemicals such as snow melting salt used in winter on the road, but also bears the high temperature of muffler, which will cause aging and deformation of parts made of conventional materials such as polypropylene and polyamide over time. However, the rear bumper bracket made of BASF Ultramid? Balance high performance special material solution has excellent resistance to high heat, oil, most solvents, aqueous solutions and alkali. In addition, the raw material of this material is from castor oil, so it provides a more sustainable solution for customers. "
The bio based sebacic acid used to produce Ultramid? Balance is extracted from castor oil plant. Using Ultramid? Balance in the rear bumper bracket is another contribution of BASF to support customers' growing demand for raw materials based on renewable resources. Ultramid? Balance is very popular in the market, not only because it is based on renewable materials, but also because it has better performance than ordinary polyamides, such as PA6 and PA66.
This innovative material solution contains 30% glass fiber reinforced resin and uses stabilizer and polymer technology to withstand higher long-term working temperature and better chemical resistance. Compared with other polyamides, this advanced material has lower moisture absorption, which can ensure that the size of the rear bumper bracket is stable in wet environment for a long time.
Andy postlethwaite, global senior vice president, Asia Pacific, BASF materials, said: "different auto parts have different requirements, which mainly depends on the value orientation of the car. To this end, we work closely with various automakers to tailor material solutions to meet the specific needs of our customers. "
"We are committed to using our expertise to provide innovative solutions and create higher value for our customers," said Yamamoto, Japan head of BASF specialty materials. We are very excited that Mazda 3 and cx-30 have both adopted BASF materials in their high-performance design, and both of them have been shortlisted in the final of "2020 world model of the year award". In the future, we will continue to work closely with our customers to meet their changing needs. "
