BASF: Super-Slim High-Performance Insulation Material at K 2019

BASF is now showing its innovative, super-slim high-performance insulation materials in new applications at the world’s largest plastics trade show in Düsseldorf from October 16-23, 2019. The innovative high-performance products SLENTITE® and SLENTEX® are a new generation of energy-efficient aerogel-based insulation materials with outstanding material properties.

At K 2019, BASF will exhibit new examples of applications in carbon concrete facade elements and motorhomes. Slim concrete facades for residential buildings with SLENTITE® and SLENTEX®. The use of new materials in combination with renewable energies is the secret of success for the housing of the future.

In a pilot project in Leipzig, a house is being built with a hybrid load-bearing structure of carbon concrete and reinforced concrete. To achieve particularly slim wall construction, the new SLENTITE® and SLENTEX® high-performance materials can be used to create an insulating layer between the layers of concrete, reducing the wall thickness by up to 50 percent over conventional insulation materials.

Slimming down the exterior wall significantly facilitates not only new aesthetic approaches but also saving space, which is becoming increasingly valuable as an inner-city building concept.
