Styropor®—Behind this name lies a success storythat is everyone’s goal. BASF discovered a clas-sic over 50 years ago in expandable polystyrene(EPS). Under the tradename Styropor, EPS isnow the solution or eicient insulation and saepackaging worldwide.
With Neopor®, BASF has taken the classicStyropor a step urther. This new materialor modern insulating materials is oamed just
like Styropor and processed to boards andmolded parts.
The vital dierence can be seen with the nakedeye in the silver-gray color. In Neopor, graphiteis added to the material, absorbing and relectingheat radiation and improving the insulating per-ormance o EPS by up to 20 percent.

The special product properties entail that insulat-ing boards made o this material provide up totwenty percent more perormance than conven-tional EPS, due to the ine graphite particles in
Neopor® that act as inrared absorbers or relec-tors.
Builders and planners can make use o thisadvantage o Neopor. Using Neopor insulatingboards, they can achieve a much higher insulat-ing perormance and even lower energy con-sumption.
Neopor insulating materials are a winner becauseo their higher insulating perormance, comparedwith conventional EPS.

Many old buildings have a heating energyrequirement o over 200 kWh/(m2 ∙ a). A single-amily house with a heated living area o 150 m2 would use approximately 3,000 liters o heatingoil or 3,000 m3 o gas per heating period. Theseconsumption igures are considerably reducedwhen using Neopor insulating materials.
Studies show an energy savings potential o over
50% when using thermal insulation. Full amor-tization o the insulating material costs otenoccurs in one heating period. Energy is savedand the environment protected.
Thermal insulation in comparisonGreater advantage to lower costs
The eco-eiciency analysis looks at productsand processes rom both an economic and anecological point o view. The result o an evalu-ation o this nature, in the example o the ther-mal insulation composite system (TICS) with a
U-value o 0.29 W/(m

Interior insulation You get the best results with Neopor®
Ceiling insulation (basement)Eiciently insulating with Neopor
In unheated basement areas, the insulation is ittedunder the ceiling o the basement. This step shouldnot be omitted because o the comparatively lowcosts, even i the potential savings are less than withcomparable measures in the acade and roo areas. The result:Cool basements, warm living areas: Basement ceil-ings can be optimally insulated with Neopor insulat-ing boards; the height o the room is only minimallyreduced, and as a result, the heating energy con-
sumption can be reduced —thanks to the improvedinsulating eect compared with conventional EPS.
Internal insulation is particularly suitable or improv-ing the thermal insulation o external walls o existing
residential buildings, i insulation rom outside is notpossible or is not desirable. Internal insulation involveslow manuacturing costs and can be carried out insections. Where heating times are short or heating israpid, internal insulation with Neopor® is, in act, pre-erable to external insulation. Because o the outstand-ing thermal insulation properties o Neopor insulatingboards, better insulation perormance is achieved withsmaller thicknesses than with conventional EPS. As aresult, less valuable internal space is lost.
Composite boards with the insulating material
Neopor® as a substrate or painting and wall-papering work Composite boards with insulating material madeo Neopor and gypsum plasterboard, which can beinstalled to room height, are ideal or this purpose.They are suitable as a substrate or painting and wall-papering work and or wall tiles once the gaps havebeen proessionally illed.
Neopor—Use in apartment buildingsIn apartment buildings where noise levels need to bereduced, Neopor insulating boards that have addition-
ally been elasticized also provide a perceptible contri-bution to sound insulation.
Please note:Some external wall constructions require anadditional vapor barrier or vapor brake. A struc-tural examination is always advisable. Floorstructures or internal wall ixings should be insu-lated to reduce the ormation o thermal bridges.

Flat roos with sealed, environmentally riendlyand economic constructions can be built usingNeopor insulating materials.
Neopor® in renovating lat roos
An additional thermal insulation layer with Neoporinsulating boards is laid i the lat roo is to be mod-ernized and brought up to the current thermal insula-tion standards. As is the case in new buildings, anequalizing protective layer against water vapor, a rooseal, and a surace protective layer should be added.Furthermore, the roo has to be secured to prevent itrom being lited o by the wind. For old roo areaswith a slope o less than two percent, constructing thethermal insulation with Neopor insulating boards assloping elements isrecommended.
Irrespective o the statutory regulations, it is advisableor all owners o old buildings to check the thermalinsulation o the roo void, as this can save consider-able cost. In many buildings, the ceiling o the toploor is poorly insulated or may not even have anyinsulation at all. The roo void can be optimally insu-lated by using Neopor insulating boards.

BASF and its partners in practice oer provenand easy-to-use solutions to increase the energyeiciency o all kinds o buildings. The high per-ormance and energy eiciency as well as theenvironmental advantages o the technologies oBASF and its partners in the construction industryare demonstrated by a wide variety o low-energyhouses.
Zero -heating cost house inLudwigshaen, GermanyEnergy consumption reduced to technical-economicoptimum
In view o rising energy prices, a zero -heating cost house can rep-
resent the optimum investment. LUWOGE, BASF’s housing com-pany, has developed a concept that reduces energy consumption toan economic optimum by energy modernization measures. A ther-mal insulation composite system with Neopor® insulating boardsis used so that the building incurs the minimum heating costs. Theenergy or power, hot water, and heating the house is produced byusing regenerative energy sources. The cost savings are used orreinancing. Thereore, the costs or heating and producing hot waterare quite separate rom the operating costs.
“Bâtiment génération E” inFontenay-sous-Bois, FranceComplete renovation clearly reduces energyconsumption
BASF’s know-how o building energy-eiciently with innovativematerials is proving its worth in France. Ater a complete renova-tion, the “Bâtiment Génération E ”, a villa in Fontenay-sous-Bois,uses less than 50 kW/h instead o 400 kW/h per square meter. This
reduction in energy consumption was mainly due to Neopor insu-lating materials, which were used to insulate walls, roo, loors, andceilings. Styrodur® C was utilized or the perimeter insulation.
