BASF expands production capacity of EPS insulation materials

BASF is strengthening its styrene value chain at its Ludwigshafen site in Germany by expanding the production capacity of Neopor, a portfolio of expandable polystyrene (EPS) insulation materials, to meet the growing market demand for the grey insulation material.

 

The expansion plan is to increase production capacity of Neopor, including Neopor BMB and Neopor Mcycled, by 50,000 metric tons per year. The start-up of the new production facilities is scheduled for early 2027.

Neopor is used for insulation material for sustainable construction.

 

More on Neopor

 

Neopor is a graphite-containing, EPS granulate developed by BASF, primarily used as a raw material for the production of energy-efficient insulation materials for building envelopes.

 

The graphite contained gives the material its grey color and enhances the insulation performance of the boards by up to 30% compared to white EPS.

 

Under BASF's sustainability evaluation method, TripleS (Sustainable Solution Steering), which BASF uses to evaluate all its products, Neopor is classified as a “Pioneer” in the highest category and is part of BASF's “Sustainable-Future Solutions”.

 

Sustainable offers: Neopor BMB and Neopor Mcycled

 

Insulation materials made from Neopor already significantly contribute to sustainable construction in their classic form. With Neopor BMB and Neopor Mcycled, BASF offers products with further optimized sustainability profiles.

 

Neopor BMB has a significantly reduced CO2 footprint compared to classic Neopor. In its production, fossil raw materials are replaced with a corresponding amount of renewable raw materials. The allocation of the share of renewable raw materials to the product according to a mass balance approach is independently certified by REDcert2.

 

In the production of Neopor F 5 Mcycled, mechanically recycled EPS waste is partially used as a raw material, closing the recycling loop for EPS. Both the recycled material used and the insulation raw material are REDcert2 certified.

 

The use of Neopor BMB and Neopor Mcycled not only reduces the CO2 emissions generated during building use, but also the CO2 footprint of the building itself. At the same time, they have the same high product quality and optimized insulating effect as classic Neopor.
