No matter how and where you chill out and relax, chances are that there's a BASF product that's been specifically designed to help make your good times more fun and last longer. From the beach to the ballgame to the backwoods, BASF polyurethanes are being used by manufacturers to improve the performance and comfort of a wide variety of recreational products.
The picnic cooler market has changed dramatically over the past twenty years. Consumers were once happy with simple rectangular chests, but today's consumers are looking for new products with new technology that look cool as they keep the contents cool. From plug-in coolers to lightweight portables to small personal coolers, consumers are demanding new designs, new technology and better performance in their picnic coolers.
The ability of BASF polyurethane rigid foams to adhere to complex and contoured surfaces gives the designer the confidence to create a cooler that can be easily produced because the foam insulation conforms to unconventional straight or curved angles, and long and thin walls.
The need for flexible rigid foams that allow manufacturers to balance strength and weight, while still providing outstanding insulation, has never been more pressing. BASF rigid polyurethane foams are designed with these needs in mind. They can be customized to meet specific manufacturer requirements, while allowing for a variety of designs. Most importantly, they have been proven to exceed requirements for maintaining temperature with above average cooling capacity.
