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.

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.

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.

Products

Ultrason®

BASF’s Ultrason^® grades are high-temperature resistant, amorphous thermoplastics derived from polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PESU) and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU). Their wide spectrum of properties allows them to be molded into high-quality engineering parts and highly stressed mass-produced articles.

Industries

Ultrason^® is suitable for many applications in automotive construction, in the food and household sectors, but also for membranes used for water filtration as well as electric and electronic components.
