BAUFOAM

BAUFOAM® — German quality and environmental friendliness

BAUFOAM^® (from German bau, construction and English foam) – is a new line of German heat insulation products from extruded polystyrene foam (xps). The selection includes the boards for insulation of possible constructions from deep foundations to pitched roof.

German technologies have been successfully during many decades to protect building and structures from all over the world from heat losses.

The manufacturing line is fitted with the most modern European equipment and strict quality control over production process is performed with truly German perfectionism.

German quality

BAUFOAM^® boards are prepared by way of extrusion of polymeric raw materials (polystyrene) with foaming. This is why the heat insulation material received the name of extruded polystyrene foam. The inert carbon dioxide is applied as a foaming agent instead of freons applied earlier which is why the current technology is called non-freon.

As a result the products with the unique combination of physical and chemical properties, the main of which being the extremely low index of thermal conductivity of boards (from 0.034 W/m * K) – a very advantageous value if compared to most modern insulation materials from other components. Extruded polystyrene foam has a uniform closed fine-cellular structure, which does not allow it to absorb water (good heat carrier) and allows keeping its heat protection properties during the whole working life. BAUFOAM^® boards securely performs its functions in the conditions of increased moisture level, they can be stored and installed under rainfall and snowfall.

Environmental friendliness

As in all leading countries of Europe one of the key priorities in the German economies is the protection of the environment. According to the Energiewende (German – power turn) it is planned to increase the share of alternative power production by year 2030, 2040 and 2050 in the power supply system of the country to 50, 65 and 80% respectively. According to the information as of the beginning of the year 2019, the share of “pure” energy equals 40% from the total production of power in Germany.

Environmental orientation also spreads to the countries which the German enterprises cooperate with. The energy efficiency of the product allows decreasing the consumption of heat energy and the decrease of environmental pollution by heat power production plants as a result.

Besides that the material of BAUFOAM^® boards is environmentally friendly by itself since it doesn’t contain such harmful components as soot, dust, slugs, small fibers, phenol-phormaldehyde resins, etc. And the main raw material for the production of BAUFOAM^® – high quality polystyrene – is successfully applied for food and medical packaging as well as for the production of children’s toys which again underlines its eco-friendliness.

Therefore our safe health-level boards can be applied in cases of high requirements towards environmental friendliness.

Quality heat insulation from extruded polystyrene will contribute to the healthy lifestyle. By protecting building structures from heat losses, this water resistant material will never allow fungus and mould to reach them. Biostability of BAUFOAM^® was established by relevant mycological examinations.

The quality of BAUFOAM boards is confirmed by reliable certificates of the European Union
