At CHINAPLAS 2024, BASF will present consumer products made with bio-based Ultramid® polyamide. With Huawei, BASF co-created smart glasses containing 39% bio-content in the glasses temple, while with Prohero, the frame of floating sunglasses contains 30% bio-content.
Huawei's 15-20% Lighter Smart Glasses
By using Ultramid
®, Huawei successfully reduces the weight of the smart glasses temple by 15%-20% compared with the existing smart glasses made with other material. Lighter glasses reduce pressure points and are less likely to slide down.
“
These consumer products are solid examples demonstrating how BASF enables our customers to meet their sustainability goals, and accelerating our plastics journey towards a more sustainable future,” said Andy Postlethwaite, senior vice president, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF.
Ultramid
®'s excellent warpage properties also makes the smart glasses more durable and longer lasting. The comfort and durability of the materials used in the product ensure a positive customer experience.
Prohero Floating Sunglasses: Ease of Coloring Improves Process Efficiency
The floating sunglasses co-created with Prohero are not only lightweight and sustainable, but also an easy-to-color solution. This is due to the consistent molding process and excellent primer and paint adhesion.
“
The bio-based Ultramid® has been instrumental in advancing the development of our next-generation consumer product, and maintaining our leading position in environmental, social, and corporate governance,” said Austin Ye, R&D manager, Prohero. “
The BASF’s product also allows greater design freedom with its high flowability and color stability properties.”
At CHINAPLAS 2024, BASF will showcase its latest innovations, competencies, and developments – especially in the areas of sustainability and co-creation. Join us at CHINAPLAS 2024 and let us walk you through the MAKE–USE–RECYCLE phases in our plastics journey.
