Facade sandwich panel Elastopir®

for wallmetal facingPolyisocyanurate PIR core

Elastopir® (PU) : The insulation material with effective fire protection Elastopir® is BASF's brand for polyurethane rigid foam systems based on Polyisocyanurate (PIR). It has been developed to meet growing demands for composite panels with improved fire-protection properties, thus making it possible to build industrial buildings as well as cold stores that are both energy-efficient and safe. In residential buildings, insulation boards with flexible facings such as aluminium foil or mineral fleece and a core of Elastopir® are also used. The main areas of application here are pitched and flat roof insulation as well as cavity wall and floor insulation. Benefits Key Advantages of Elastopir® Superb fire resistance Excellent mechanical and thermal properties Provides very low lambda value matched by no other conventional insulation material Durable with good dimensional stability Pre-fabricated panels enable fast and easy installation with intelligent joint systems Elastopir® keeps cool when the going gets hot Panels consisting of metal-faced sandwiches with a polyurethane core are highly versatile in their uses thanks to their exceptional insulating properties. In addition to its Elastopor® systems for the insulation of facades, roofs and floors, BASF also offers special flame-retardant Elastopir® systems of polyurethane rigid foam specifically for industrial buildings and cold stores. With their extra-high temperature stability, they achieve superior standards of fire protection in areas where conventional materials reach their limits.
