Lightweight family with plastic chairs

Ultramid is a trademark of the BASF Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastic Polyamide product line and has long been an indispensable material for specialty applications in the automotive, electrical engineering and machine construction industries.

The Office Swivel Chair is an all-plastic chair manufactured in bulk by Ultramid SI, an all-plastic chair mass-produced by BASF and furniture manufacturer Interstuhl and developed by BASF in collaboration with furniture maker Interstuhl. One of the key requirements of MOVYis3 is to reach high expectations for the backrest. In addition to requiring the appearance of high-grade surface (in the production process, without any post-processing), but also processed into a sufficiently strong fashion components. During the development process a lot of simulation work to assess, adjust the design, the final selection of Ultramid B3EG4 SI.

BASF is also using Ultrasim simulation tools to provide customized solutions for the company's common "A-chair" design. The main design feature of this chair is that the legs of the lower frame are very thin. The best structure is also designed by stiffness, as well as shrinkage and warpage analysis. The extremely high mechanical load and the quality of this chair's surface all point the material to the Ultramid B3EG10 SI.
All four materials combine high surface quality with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance, respectively Ultramid B3EG4 SI (reinforced with 20% glass fiber), Ultramid B3EG6 SI (glass fiber included) and Ultramid B3EG10 SI (Including 50% glass fiber), and flame retardant grade Ultramid B3U40G4 SI.

In addition, BASF also provides design support. When developing new products, designers can consult the service platform designfabrik. A team of engineers and designers help solve design problems with plastics and advise on methods and molds, surfaces, forms and functions.
