BASF's new easy-flowing PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), Ultradur® High Speed, has become the company's first engineering plastic to receive the 'eco-efficiency label', in just one year after its market introduction. The good flowability of this new material makes production of injection-moulded plastic components cheaper and helps to save energy, thus protecting the environment. Products made of Ultradur High Speed are considerably more eco-efficient than products made of a standard PBT.
The eco-efficiency label is awarded to products or methods that perform better from an environmental and financial standpoint than comparable products or methods and is certified by the German Technical Control Board (TÜV) of Rhineland/Brandenburg in accordance with specified guidelines. The analysis is subsequently submitted for a critical review by an independent third party in accordance with DIN ISO 14040 to 14043.
