EPS Biomass Balance by BASF

EPS BMB

The Biomass Balance (BMB) method by BASF replaces primary fossil sources with certified renewable sources (biomass, organic waste, production waste) from the beginning of the supply chain. This results in raw materials that help reduce CO2 emissions. The amount of raw material used determines how “environmentally friendly” the products are. BMB EPS is 100% recyclable, versatile, water-repellent, and resistant to aging. Products made from BMB EPS are lightweight, easy to install, and provide excellent heat and cold insulation.

PE/RPET

PE

Known as Polyethylene, this material is usually used to produce common objects like bottles and containers, pipes, valves, toys, appliances and more. It’s thermoplastic, versatile and it has a great resistance to low temperatures, traction, abrasion and is non-toxic and waterproof.

PE for sound-absorbing panels

This material is made entirely of recycled polyester fiber. It has a high capacity to absorb sound from medium and low frequencies, is non-toxic, and water-repellent. It is produced by recycling pre- and post-consumer materials and is particularly suitable for making sound-absorbing panels such as Primate's Silentium.

rPET

polyethylene terephthalate is commonly used to produce recycled plastic bottles. It is an environmentally friendly material obtained by reusing PET bottles after they are sorted, washed, chopped, and melted, further reducing CO2 emissions.

PE+rPET

Thanks to the combination of two materials, it is possible to create insulating acoustic panels with high soundproofing capabilities. These panels are sound-absorbing, elastic, and resistant to compression, making them also suitable for applications like renovating floors.
