Energy Efficiency Through Thermal Insulation

The exceptional thermal insulation properties of Elastopor® 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 closed-cell structure and system's chemistry give Elastopor® the special mechanical and physical properties needed in a wide range of thermal insulation applications, including food displays, reach-in commercial refrigerators, picnic coolers, and water heaters. The ability of the Elastopor® to flow through and adhere to complex shapes and surfaces provides a freedom of design as well as complete insulation, even in unconventional straight angles, and long, thin designs.

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 we formulated Elastopor® with more environmentally friendly blowing technologies, which include: partially halogenated hydrocarbons; the combination of water with cycle pentane and its low-boiling point isomers.

BASF can provide the right Elastopor® technology for thermal insulation solution no matter what a customer's processing requirements are, such as viscosity, fill and curing rate, to meet energy requirements and current environmental challenges.

Industry-Leading Technical Support

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.
