Appliance Insulation:
Basotect®, Lupranate® Isocyanate and Styropor® EPS are used to insulate against heat transfer and noise to help make appliances that are quieter and more
efficient.
Basotect® - Melamine-based foam Visit www.basotect.com for more information. Visit

Styropor® expandable polystyrene (EPS) can be used in areas where a highly insulating rigid foam with
compressive strength is needed. Visit www.styroporeps.com for more information.
Lupranate Isocyanate is easily processed to produce fine-celled
rigid foams with excellent insulation and strength properties. Its low functionality imparts good flow characteristics to the foam, ensuring uniform and
complete fill of the appliance wall cavities. Visit www.styroporeps.com for more information.
