BASF and WAL Low Carbon Technology (Anhui) co-created a commercial vehicle air tank with BASF's high-performance material solution Ultramid polyamide. This air tank will be showcased at BASF’s booth at CHINAPLAS 2025.

The commercial vehicle air tank co-created by BASF and WAL, made with BASF’s Ultramid polyamide.

 

The innovative solution achieves a weight reduction of 10-20% compared to aluminum alternatives, and over 50% compared to steel versions. “Lightweighting of vehicles contributes to energy efficiency, which lowers fuel consumption and carbon emissions,” explained Karl Song, Chief Technology Officer of WAL Low Carbon Technology.

 

As it only needs a one-piece injection molding process, production of the air tank is also more energy efficient.

 

With the superior mechanical properties of BASF’s innovative material solution Ultramid, the air tank exhibits exceptional rigidity, welding line strength and UV resistance. Combined with its high burst pressure resistance of above 50 bar (5MPa), the solution demonstrates consistent product quality and reliability in this demanding application.

 

“The co-creation with WAL demonstrates our ability to meet demanding high-pressure applications. This also validates the potential of our material solution to meet other automotive applications where high burst pressure resistance is required,” said Eng Guan Soh, Vice President, Business Management Engineering Plastics, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF.
