BASF STYRODUR® EXTRUDED INSULATION

It was in 1964 that the company began producing this green insulation, which excels with its high quality, diverse applications, and robustness. Styrodur® stands for technology “Made in Germany” and for unique, steadily evolving work to obtain approvals. For generations, Styrodur® has convinced planners, architects, craftsmen and builders. In fact, BASF became the first XPS producer to receive a construction type approval for extruded foam boards welded in a contactless process. The general technical approvals Z-23.31-2083 and Z-23.33-2084 pertain to Styrodur® SQ in inverted roof and perimeter applications. Under the brand name Styrodur® 3000 SQ, products are sold with nominal thicknesses of 200, 240, and 300 mm, which are joined together in layers of three, four, or five to form a single board by means of contactless thermal welding applied across their whole surface.
 
These new products complete BASF’s recently fully updated range, which boasts a uniform declared lambda value of 0.033 W/(m·K) in all board thicknesses. The compressive stress characteristics of the new 3000 SQ types have also been improved further. This provides architects, planners, and homeowners with a leaner wall construction coupled with increased insulation performance. The permissible compressive stress over 50 years at < 2% deformation, tested in accordance with DIN EN 1606, has been increased from 110 to 130 kPa.
