Long-standing Trust in Styrodur® C
Styrodur® C is the green, extruded rigid polystyrene foam (XPS) developed by BASF in 1964. Today, Styrodur C is the synonym for XPS in Europe and – as a thermal insulation material – significantly contributes to climate protection by reducing CO2 emissions.
Styrodur C provides convincing advantages to specialized planners, architects, craftsmen, builders, and building material suppliers:
Environmental advantages:
- Environment-friendly due to CO2 processes with air as cell gas
- Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) due to excellent insulating performance
Processing advantages:
- Low dead weight
- Simple and practical processing with tools suitable for woodworking
- Can be installed in all weather conditions
- No dust hazardous to health during mechanical processing
- Extensive product range
- Most diverse potential applications
Quality and safety advantages:
- Safety based on decades of experience
- Protects the building construction from external forces such as heat, cold, and humidity
- Comprehensive production control and quality monitoring, documented by CE marking and Ü-sign
- Long-lasting: if correctly installed, Styrodur C outlasts the life expectancy of the building construction
Structural-physical advantages:
- Excellent insulation properties
- High compressive strength
- Low water absorption
- Resistant to aging and decay
- Fulfills all structural-physical and building construction requirements in Europe's various climate conditions
Economic advantages:
- Pan-European logistics with professional customer service via local distributors
- Reduction of energy costs for heating and cooling
- Quick amortization of the insulation investment with rising energy costs
- Increases the life span of the building and raises the value of the structure
