BASF launches innovative Ultramid(R) T6000 grade for electric vehicle applications

Ultramid T6000 bridges the gap between traditional PA66 and PA6T, offering superior mechanical and dielectric properties, particularly in humid conditions and at elevated temperatures. Its easy processing and low corrosion on tools make it the preferred choice for complex automotive applications. With its wide range of pre-color options, including vibrant shades, Ultramid T6000 enhances aesthetic flexibility while maintaining high performance standards.

"As safety becomes increasingly vital in the design and material selection for metal components in EVs, such as wiring terminals and busbars, BASF is committed to developing innovative solutions for the EV industry. Our goal is not only to meet today's design needs but also to equip our customers with the tools to develop cutting-edge technologies that address future technical requirements and safety standards," said Eng Guan Soh, Vice President, Business Management Engineering Plastics, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF.

The FR grade of Ultramid T6000 is specifically designed for EV applications, offering exceptional high strength ideal for terminal block use. This innovative material enhances the durability of electrical systems in new energy vehicles by withstanding thermal shock from -40?C to 150?C for 1,000 cycles and provides excellent electrical isolation for terminal blocks and high voltage busbars, significantly improving safety on the vehicle's 800V platform. A standout feature is its non-halogenated flame retardant, which minimizes the risk of metal corrosion and meets stringent safety standards, ensuring protection for vehicle occupants in the event of a fire.

Additionally, its remarkable strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability allow for the creation of complex designs that can endure the rigors of automotive assembly, while also facilitating the integration of multiple functions into single components, ultimately simplifying assembly and enhancing space efficiency in EVs.
