The debate about global warming and the rising prices of raw materials has brought the subject of sustainability firmly into the public spotlight. To conserve resources in day-to-day living, thermal insulation – be it in buildings or refrigerators – has an important role to play: because good insulation reduces energy costs, has a positive impact on the carbon footprint and thus contributes to climate protection. BASF has developed a unique high-performance product for the insulation sector that is scheduled for launch in just a few years.
The main function of a roof is to keep out the wet. All the same, leaks and penetrating moisture are by no means uncommon especially on flat roofs. The plastic- and bitumen-based membranes conventionally used are susceptible at the joints, particularly where complicated roof geometries are involved. Such membranes can additionally become brittle at low temperatures and no longer bridge concrete cracks sufficiently. For such applications BASF has its Elastocoat® coating system that gives roofs jointless waterproofing and has been attracting increasing interest.
