Introduction of Cavipor
BASF has introduced Cavipor, a mineral-based clay foam insulation material, to the market. Initially developed for energy-efficient renovation of buildings with double-wall masonry, it is now also approved for floor slabs and roofs.
Product Features
Cavipor is easy to transport and process, producing no dust or fibers. It consists of three water-based components mixed with air to expand tenfold, allowing even cavity filling. The foam is non-flammable, water-repellent, and vapor-permeable, ensuring buildings remain breathable while withstanding environmental influences.
Environmental Impact
Cavipor significantly improves building energy efficiency, contributing to CO2 savings and a pleasant living environment. It belongs to the thermal conductivity group 035 and meets the highest emission standards, holding the EMICODE EC1PLUS seal. During renovation or dismantling, it can be recycled or disposed of as subgrade material without needing separation from construction waste.
Market Presence
Through collaboration with distribution partners in Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the UK, approximately 2,000 houses have been insulated with Cavipor. Its presence as an innovative insulation alternative is growing across Europe.
Upcoming Presentation
BASF will showcase Cavipor and the clay foam material class at the 'Klimafestival für die Bauwende' in Berlin on November 19 and 20, 2025.
