Energy Efficiency Through Thermal Insulation
The outstanding thermal insulation properties of Elastocool® rigid foams, combined with their sealing function, provide an excellent prospect for the future as energy costs continue to rise, energy efficiency requirements become stricter and consumers become more educated and conscientious about energy issues.
Expanding Your Range of Insulation Applications
The combination of a fine, closed cell structure and its special designed chemistry give Elastocool® the outstanding mechanical and physical properties required when the energy efficiency requirements of thermal insulation applications are extremely demanding. Elastocool® technology has been developed to enhance its processability, flow characteristics, and gel and demoulding time. The K-factor and density distribution are also improved, as well as the mechanical properties of the final product.
Environmentally Responsible with Your Process in Mind
Always ahead of the curve, we're conscious of our environmental responsibilities and our ability to meet manufacturers' requirements and market regulations. That's why BASF offers Elastocool® with more environmentally friendly blowing technologies, which includes: HFCs, the combination of water with cycle pentane and its low boiling point isomers; partially halogenated hydrocarbons, and combinations of water with halogen-free and low-boiling hydrocarbons that include pentanes isomers.
BASF has the right Elastocool® technology for thermal insulation solutions depending on a manufacturer's processing requirements, such as viscosity, fill and curing rates, to meet current and future energy requirements and environmental challenges.
Industry-Leading Technical Support
Our research and development group is continually working to turn market trends and scientific findings into innovative solutions for our customers. We offer solutions - tailored to a manufacturer's requirements - that are optimized and adjusted in our
appliance lab. Here, specific processing conditions are simulated and optimized and then final products are tested applying international standards and manufacturers' test procedures.
