- BASF introduced ELASTOSPRAY BMB, a biomass-balance isocyanate for spray polyurethane foam systems.
- Product carbon footprints are reduced 21-29% versus BASF conventional SPF systems.
- The product is REDcert2-verified and uses a certified mass-balance approach that attributes renewable feedstocks (e.g., renewable natural gas from landfill waste) to specific sales products.
- Compatible with WALLTITE RSB and ENERTITE Series formulations, it supports product-specific EPDs and is manufactured for the North American market using renewable energy inputs.
Product introduction
BASF introduced ELASTOSPRAY BMB isocyanate, a biomass-balance (BMB) product for spray polyurethane foam (SPF) systems that serves as a drop-in replacement requiring no reformulation or process changes.
Carbon footprint and verification
BASF reports potential product carbon footprint reductions of 21–29% versus its conventional SPF systems; the product uses a biomass-balance method in which renewable feedstocks (for example, renewable natural gas from landfill waste) are integrated at the start of production and attributed to specific products via a certified mass-balance approach. The product and BASF’s BMB methodology are independently verified under the REDcert² scheme, and product carbon footprint calculations follow ISO 14067:2018 and align with the GHG Protocol Product Standard and the Together for Sustainability PCF Guideline.
System compatibility and EPDs
ELASTOSPRAY BMB is compatible with BASF WALLTITE RSB and ENERTITE Series formulations and supports product-specific Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for inclusion in building life cycle assessments and green building programs.
Manufacturing and market
The isocyanate is manufactured for the North American market using renewable energy inputs and is supplied through BASF’s local production network.
