New BASF foam meets requirements for passive house construction

The company Pflüger TOB GmbH, which is based in Obersteinach, Germany, offers a new generation of windowsill connection profiles, substructure insulation profiles and frame extensions, made with BASF's structural foam Kerdyn Green FST.

Kerdyn Green FST conforms to construction material class B2 and is noted for its high compressive strength, good screw extraction values, as well as high temperature and chemical resistance.

Thanks to its low thermal conductivity, the material is suitable for the use in a window or door profile in passive houses. Moreover, the water absorption of the material is less than 2%.

At the end of its life cycle, the high performance material on the basis of PET can be recycled.

The structural foam can be processed in two different densities (115kg/m3 and 180kg/m3) and can be supplied in thicknesses of 5-120mm. The maximum panel size is 1,005x2,440mm.
