Thinner panels, better performance: NeoporŪ


For many decades now, StyroporŪ has been the renowned brand name for efficient thermal insulation. But even a classic can evolve. The result of intense research is NeoporŪ, the silver-gray successor product of the white foamed material StyroporŪ.

BASF AG manufactures NeoporŪ in the form of polystyrene granules that contain a blowing agent and are thus expandable. These black particles in the form of beads are then made into silver-gray foamed blocks, panels or molded parts by processing companies using conventional EPS machines.

Built-in infrared absorbers and reflectors largely prevent the heat dissipation caused by radiation. This has a positive impact on the heat conductivity.

A new, innovative technology has managed to improve the thermal insulation capacity of the foam panels made of NeoporŪ in comparison to the already outstanding thermal
insulation properties of StyroporŪ rigid foams.

In comparison to conventional EPS, NeoporŪ can achieve the same insulation performance while requiring considerably less material.
