This is where the special product advantages of Basotect® come to the forefront: enabling simple fastening with extremely thin cable structures, good sound absorption, low weight and high fire safety. Basotect’s good sound absorption and high fire safety also make this foam ideal for use in...

Basotect® in construction and industrial applications … Combining sound insulation and ambience – Basotect®, digitally printed on the wall, Caparol, D … thermal engineering Due to the foam’s low rigidity, Basotect® is suitable for sound insula­ tion in combination with layers of heavier material. Composite elements made up of gypsum plasterboard and Basotect in the form of cladding for interior structures provide a high degree of acoustic comfort. Insulation for pipes can be produced from Basotect G and G+ using contour cutting machinery. Even technically demanding thermal insula­ tion...

Solar collectors should absorb as much energy from sunlight as pos­ sible and reflect very little back, so low thermal conductivity and a high long-term service temperature are key factors. Basotect provides good thermal...

Basotect® in automotive construction … Basotect ® TG, G and G+ can ideally fulfill the rising demand for soundproofing in automotive construction. Thanks to Basotect’s open-cell, fine structure, the sound absorption values are very good. Even when exacting demands are made of the sound absorption at low frequencies, the sound absorption Hood liner for the Lexus LS.
