How we drive solutions for electronics

Electronic control unit – improving the electronic control unit

With engineering plastics like Ultramid^® (PA6, PA66, PA66/6, PA610, PA6T/6) and Ultradur^® (PBT), a transmission’s electronic control unit can be improved, allowing for smoother gear changes, no interruption in power, and a better fuel economy.

Cable system – perfectly reliable

Cable system and tubing – perfectly reliable

“Safety first” is BASF’s motto when it comes to anti-lock braking systems, electronic stability programs and electronic cables. The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer Elastollan^® (TPU) for cable sheatings e.g. for sensors and 360° review cameras and the soft integral foam Elastofoam^®I (PU) for cable harnesses ensure smooth data flows – even under extreme conditions.

EMI-shielding – shield it smartly

BASF provides a cost efficient alternative in comparison to aluminum die-cast. Electromagnetic shielding (EMI-shielding) made of flame-retardant Ultramid^® (PA6, PA66, PA66/6, PA610, PA6T/6) with a thin metal layer allows automotive manufacturers to save weight and installation space at the same time.

Sensor housing solutions – robust housing

For senor applications, Ultradur^® HR (PBT) has established itself as a robust and versatile housing material.

It is used for sensors for the automated driving.

Tubing – protecting tubing solutions

Electrical insulation tubes made of Elastollan^®(TPU) are an excellent barrier from the elements while binding cables and insulating them.

Connectors & plugs – electric safety made simple

Ultradur^® (PBT) for high voltage applications. The material provides highest electrical insulation while offering non-halogenated flame retardancy.

Decoupling mounts - provide superior vibration protection for infotainment system displays.

As a durable, quiet support system, Cellasto^® enhances the utility and appearance of head-up displays and entertainment system interfaces.
