Increased demand for rigid PU foam for building insulation

A large number of countries are tightening up their regulations on energy saving for buildings as a result of climate change and rising energy costs. For example, under the revised EU directive on improving energy efficiency in buildings, from 2021 onwards it will only be possible to construct new buildings as “almost zero-energy buildings”. Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) is therefore currently witnessing a strong rise in demand for rigid polyurethane foam for heat insulation in more and more countries. The background for this is that, even in much thinner layers than are needed for expanded polystyrene and mineral wool – the two other most common insulating materials – this material delivers the required high level of insulation.
