Insights

  • Germany-headquartered BASF has introduced REDcert2-certified biomass balance grades of its Autofroth polyurethane systems for the low-pressure foam market.
  • The drop-in solutions help reduce product carbon footprint in rigid foam applications across appliances, construction and marine sectors.
  • With no reformulation needed, customers can scale up sustainably without operational changes.
BASF has introduced biomass balance (BMB) grades of its Autofroth polyurethane systems for the low pressure polyurethane foam market. These mass-balanced products are REDcert2 certified, along with many BASF sites, including the recently certified Clemson, South Carolina site.

“Expanding our portfolio to include BMB products supports our customers in advancing their sustainability goals,” said Mary Wiles, Head of Business Management for Autofroth at BASF Performance Materials. “Customers can quickly scale-up these new solutions without any reformulation or process changes.”

These biomass balance Autofroth systems provide a drop-in solution that helps customers reduce the product carbon footprint (PCF) used to produce rigid foam formulations for various appliance, construction, and marine applications. Because BMB products retain the same specifications and processing characteristics as their fossil-based counterparts, manufacturers can adapt quickly without operational disruption. These specialized polyurethane foam systems, dispensed under low pressure through BASF equipment, offer a cost-effective alternative to conventional high-pressure polyurethane foam systems.
