An appropriately improved insulation level, combined with phase change materials, is a simple, cost effective device, which can increase comfort and drastically reduce heating demand in cold countries and cooling demand in hot ones.

BASF and its partners offer you solutions you can adapt to most architectural traditions and imaginable buildings.

• With Elastopor® H by Elastogran, you will find the perfect solution for multi-layer construction elements (sandwich elements), and a huge variety of insulation applications.


• Styrodur® C is Europe’s green insulation: The green-coloured, extruded rigid polystyrene foam (XPS) is free of CFCs, HCFCs and HCFs.
  Styrodur® is notable for good thermal insulation, low water absorption and high compressive strength.


• Styropor®, the expandable polystyrene (EPS) invented by BASF over 50 years ago, features very good heat insulation, high compressive strength, outstanding shock absorbance, low weight, resistance to moisture and a good price/performance
  ratio.


• Neopor® is innovation in insulation: the innovative black polystyrene granules by BASF are processed by manufacturers into silver-grey foamed blocks or moulded parts, saving up to 50% of raw materials while attaining the same lambda value.
  Contractors work with 50% lighter or 20% thinner panels, while ensuring the same level of insulation.


• Overheated rooms in summertime need no longer be accepted: Micronal® PCM are microscopically small polymer spheres containing a wax storage medium in their cores which, incorporated in plasters or gypsum boards, melt and solidify and regulate environmental temperatures offering energy savings for cooling and a great comfort in summer.
