Collaborative development of better flame retardant and more energy efficient insulation solutions for refrigerated spaces;
Can save 95% of energy for cold chain industry and livestock breeding;
Cooperation between the two parties in the areas of product development, raw materials, technology and marketing
BASF and SDWS Insulation Materials Technology Co., Ltd. reached a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly develop polyurethane (PU) insulation sandwich panels for China’s cold chain industry and the cold storage space of animal husbandry.
According to the agreement, BASF will be responsible for the research and development and testing of polyurethane materials, while SDWS will provide sheet metal technical knowledge and be responsible for the development and production of sheet products. The two parties will also jointly promote the use of polyurethane sandwich panels and conduct joint marketing.
Larsen Kolberg, Director of Construction Business Management, Asia Pacific, BASF Performance Materials, said: “From farms to retailers, BASF’s energy-efficient polyurethane insulation materials provide the best storage temperature throughout the food value chain. Our energy-saving insulation materials “For example, Elastopir®, which is designed for refrigerated warehouses and industrial plants, can save 95% of energy while minimizing food waste. We also provide Elastopor® materials that can be used for cold boxes and truck trailers in the cold chain industry.”
Xu Shuheng, General Manager of MSDWS, said: “BASF has a long history of more than 150 years and is a leading global supplier of polyurethane insulation solutions. BASF has rich expertise and is our ideal partner. Through strong cooperation with BASF in research and development, We are confident to provide differentiated and innovative technologies for the Chinese cold chain industry. “
In addition to the cold chain industry, insulation sandwich panels can also be used in livestock farms, which helps farmers save insulation costs, improve production efficiency, improve animal health, and improve the working environment of employees. BASF’s Elastopir material has extremely low smoke density and high decomposition temperature, so it has excellent fire resistance.
