BASF
BASF is the world's largest chemical company in terms of turnover and was founded in Germany as early as 1865. BASF combines economic success with the sustainable protection of the environment and social responsibility. In addition to the expansion of the sales regions, cooperation in the field of compounding, application technology and the development of projects have been intensified. In 2017, the cooperation was further strengthened with the addition of new specialty PA products such as Ultramid® Advanced N and Ultramid® Vision.
The marketing of Polystyrol (PS) and Ultramid® (PA) in 1967 laid the foundation for the successful cooperation between ALBIS and BASF, which continues to this day. Over time, this trusting partnership has been steadily expanded and intensified. Numerous new sales regions were added - today we sell BASF products in almost all European countries. The key criteria for the close partnership between BASF and ALBIS are reliability, trust and success. These values have marked our cooperation for more than 50 years.

Ultramid® Advanced N
Ultramid® Advanced N is a new polyphthalamide by BASF with an excellent property profile: The compound portfolio, which is based on long alkyl chain polyphthalamides, offers excellent mechanics at elevated temperatures. In addition, the PPA compounds can withstand humidity and contact with challenging media while maintaining their strength. The low water uptake results in a dimensional stability of the plastic parts in humid environments which is among the highest of all polyamides.
