SLENTITE, the new high-performance insulating material from BASF, is being shown for the first time in a cooperation partner’s application. At Frontale, the biggest European trade show for window construction, doors and facades, from March 16 to 19 in Nürnberg, possible applications are being demonstrated in two Beck + Heun products.

In the design and construction sectors, the properties of SLENTITE are opening up totally new potential. The innovative material based on a polyurethane aerogel is manufactured as a heavy-duty panel displaying exceptional insulation performance. Owing to its open-porous structure, the material provides moisture regulation and thus contributes to a pleasant interior climate: Customized climate management with the new high-performance insulating material. Inserted between the window frame and the masonry, SLENTITE makes window modernization even more attractive. The PU aerogel can be installed as thermal insulation wedges between walls and windows indoors and outdoors, regardless of the window frame material. Existing window jamb systems can be reduced further in size, as the new high-performance insulation panel is extremely slim: For energy upgrades in old buildings, this is a real blessing. “We now have the chance to eliminate thermal weak points in the building envelope, prevent damage and enhance interior comfort,” says Dr. Marc Fricke, SLENTITE Project Manager at BASF Polyurethanes.

SLENTITE also facilitates further product improvements in roller shutter casings and lamellar blind boxes. For a new or upgraded building to be truly energy-efficient, attention has to be paid to the details. Roller shutter casings insulated with SLENTITE deliver excellent insulation values regardless of the wall structure and thickness. “With the new BASF high-performance insulating material, we’ve succeeded in improving our existing top products by another 35 percent,” says Michael Krüger, Development Director at Beck + Heun.
