BASF starts pilot plant for polyurethane insulating panels in Germany

12:03 PM, 10th July 2014

LEMFORDE, GERMANY: BASF has commissioned a new pilot line for the development and discontinuous production of polyurethane insulating panels at its Lemforde site, Germany. The new flat laminating line facilitates the production of panels up to ten meters long using two different application techniques - flat coating in which the material is applied into the open mold; and injection technology that optimally delivers the polyurethane into the closed mold using a novel mixing head.

“This investment helps to extend our already very strong position on the market for insulating materials. The new plant also strengthens our global polyurethane expertise network,” said Raimar Jahn, President, Performance Materials, BASF.
