BASF launches biomass‑balanced Ultrason® P 3010 BMB PPSU

Key highlights
  • BASF introduces Ultrason P 3010 BMB, a polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) grade with 20% bio-circular feedstock attributed via ISCC PLUS mass-balance.
  • Ultrason P 3010 BMB is produced in Ludwigshafen using 100% green electricity and the same production process as the standard grade.
  • The material is chemically identical to standard Ultrason P 3010 and requires no requalification or changes to processing parameters (drop-in replacement).
  • In 2025 BASF launched Ultrason E 2010 BMB (PESU) with 39% attributed bio-circular feedstock.

Product introduction

BASF expands its Ultrason range with Ultrason P 3010 BMB, a polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) grade with 20% attributed bio‑circular feedstock via an ISCC PLUS mass‑balance approach.

Certification and production

The bio‑circular feedstock is sourced from organic waste and residual biomass and allocated through ISCC PLUS certification; the grade is produced in Ludwigshafen using 100% green electricity in a resource‑efficient, emission‑optimized process.

Compatibility and performance

Ultrason P 3010 BMB is chemically identical to standard Ultrason P 3010 and serves as a drop‑in replacement without need for requalification or processing changes; it retains high‑temperature stability, chemical resistance, toughness, long‑term durability and the same certification status for applications with stringent safety and quality demands.

Applications and portfolio context

The grade is intended for household and catering, water and sanitary, medical technology, hydrogen production and E&E applications and complements Ultrason E 2010 BMB (PESU), introduced in 2025 with 39% attributed bio‑circular feedstock.
