The re-invention of EPS
Since the invention of Styropor® more than 70 years ago, our experts at BASF have succeeded in improving expandable polystyrene (EPS). The further development Neopor® is established in the construction industry and insulation materials made of it make an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions. With alternative manufacturing methods, we are reinventing EPS and offering solutions for a sustainable future.
For over 20 years, Neopor® by BASF has stood for efficient and resource-conscious insulation. Compared to conventional white EPS, Neopor® delivers superior thermal performance thanks to the addition of graphite particles - achieving higher insulation values with less material. This has made Neopor® the preferred choice among architects, builders, and contractors. Its unique combination of performance, cost-efficiency, and sustainability remains unmatched to this day.
Sustainability That Makes a Difference - Today and Tomorrow
With Neopor® BMB, BASF demonstrates how technological innovation and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. These insulation materials contribute to reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling over decades - helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Choosing Neopor® today means committing to a sustainable future without compromising on quality, safety, or economic viability. It’s a product that protects buildings - and the climate.
Building Better with a Sustainable Mindset
Neopor® BMB combines advanced technology with environmental responsibility. These insulation materials actively reduce energy demand and support climate protection over the long term. With the introduction of biomass-balanced Neopor® BMB, BASF takes sustainability one step further: fossil resources are replaced with renewable raw materials at the very beginning of the production process - without compromising on quality or performance. This reduces the carbon footprint of the insulation material by up to 100% a strong statement for responsible construction. Building with Neopor® means choosing a future-ready solution that protects both buildings and the environment.
