BASF Launches World's First Biomass-Balanced Polyethersulfone
Read MoreHide Full Article
BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) recently introduced the world’s first biomass-balanced polyethersulfone (PESU), Ultrason E 2010 BMB, to support industries that depend on high-performance thermoplastics. This innovative PESU helps reduce the use of fossil resources, lowers greenhouse gas emissions and promotes the use of renewable feedstocks.
It provides customers across various sectors—such as household and catering, automotive, electronics, healthcare, water and sanitary—with the opportunity to differentiate their products while advancing sustainability goals. Notably, it maintains its high performance and quality, and there’s no need for additional investment in new processing lines.
For biomass-balanced (BMB) Ultrason E 2010, fossil-based raw materials are replaced with renewable feedstock at the start of production. This renewable feedstock is sourced from organic waste, and the corresponding amount is allocated to the Ultrason grade through a mass balance method certified under ISCC PLUS. The resulting BMB grade has a reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) compared with the standard BASF material, thanks to the use of renewable feedstock and 100% green electricity in a resource-efficient production process at the Ludwigshafen, Germany plant.
BASF also provides transparency to its Ultrason customers by sharing PCF data, helping them assess the PCF of their own products. This benefits a wide range of everyday applications, including reusable bottles for adults and babies, microwave-safe dishes and appliances, automotive fuel components, medical devices, E&E connectors and consumer electronics.
In addition to its sustainability benefits, Ultrason E 2010 BMB offers a drop-in solution. This BASF PESU has the same properties, quality and certifications as the standard grade, including approvals for food and water contact. As a result, customers don't need to re-qualify their applications made from Ultrason E 2010 BMB or modify their existing injection molding or extrusion processes. They can continue to rely on the same high performance they are used to.
BASF is the first company to offer biomass-balanced polyethersulfone. With this new addition to its innovative Ultrason portfolio, the company aims to support its customers' green transformation and help them adopt more circular solutions as early as possible on their path to achieving sustainability goals. For Ultrason E 2010, 50% of the fossil raw materials used in production are replaced by ISCC PLUS certified bio-circular feedstocks, which contribute 39% of the final Ultrason E 2010 BMB grade.
Shares of BASFY have gained 9% over the past year against a 9.5% decline of its industry.
