Product catalog summary
Introduction to Neopor®
Neopor® is an advanced insulation material developed by BASF, offering enhanced performance over traditional Styropor®. It provides benefits in energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
Key Features and Benefits
  • Excellent cost-benefit ratio and eco-efficiency.
  • Thinner boards allow for more flexible planning and design.
  • Applicable for both exterior and interior insulation.
Production and Environmental Impact
Neopor® is produced as grey plastic beads, expanded and molded into insulation boards. The production process is energy-efficient, and the material significantly reduces energy consumption in buildings.
Performance and Efficiency
  • Neopor® boards are up to 20% more efficient than conventional EPS due to graphite particles that enhance insulation.
  • Thinner, lighter boards are easier to install and use fewer resources.
Sustainability and Eco-Efficiency
Neopor® supports sustainable construction by reducing insulation thickness and raw material usage, leading to lower environmental impacts and costs over its lifecycle.
Quality of Life Enhancements
Neopor® improves indoor thermal comfort by increasing wall surface temperature, reducing mildew risk, and ensuring a pleasant indoor climate.
Reference Projects
Neopor® has been used in various European projects, demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing energy consumption and enhancing building sustainability.
Applications
  • Exterior and interior insulation, including ETICS and cavity insulation.
  • Roof insulation for both flat and pitched roofs.
  • Floor, perimeter, and base insulation.
  • Ceiling and attic insulation.
Technical Data
Technical specifications include thermal conductivity and foam density, highlighting Neopor®'s superior insulating properties.
Specifications
Neopor® insulation products are characterized by thermal conductivity, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, shear strength, and dimensional stability. Thermal conductivity values are ≥ 0.031 W/(m·K) for EPS 70, ≥ 0.030 W/(m·K) for EPS 100 and EPS 150, according to EN 13163 standards. Compressive strength at 10% deformation is ≥ 70 kPa for EPS 70, ≥ 100 kPa for EPS 100, and ≥ 150 kPa for EPS 150, as per EN 826 standards.
Procedures and Recommendations
Neopor® boards are recommended for floor, perimeter, base, ceiling, attic, and cavity insulation due to their high compression strength and thermal insulation properties. They are suitable for use in back-ventilated curtain walls and insulating concrete forms (ICF). Installation should adhere to national technical approvals.
Advantages
Neopor® offers low water uptake, resistance to aging and decay, high compression strength, and bulk density. It provides improved insulation performance, low installation height, and significant energy cost savings. It is water-repellent without hydrophobing and has low setting behavior with Neopor beads.
Limitations
Neopor® is sensitive to organic solvents and does not include flame retardant. It does not assume functions such as drainage or sealing against moisture.
Norms and Standards
Neopor® products comply with various EN standards, including EN 13163 for thermal conductivity, EN 826 for compressive strength, EN 1607 for tensile strength, EN 12089 for flexural strength, EN 12090 for shear strength, and EN 13501-1 for reaction to fire.

NEOPOR® – THE POWER OF THE ORIGINAL GREY Excellent Value for Money Neopor® contains minute particles of graphite that absorb or reflect infrared radiation. Boards made from it therefore insulate up to 20 percent more efficiently than conventional EPS. The bottom line is excellent value for money and a major contribution to sustainable, eco-efficiently building and living. This in turn yields many benefits for planner, architects, the building trades and builder-owners: Thermal conductivity Boards can be thinner while providing the same insulating effect: More flexible planning ore living space...

NEOPOR® – A STRONG CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION Insulating for the Future with Neopor® To tell whether a building qualifies as sustainable, it has to be assessed in its entirety. Neopor®’s exemplary eco-efficiency greatly improves overall sustainability assessments. Houses mainly lose energy through their outer envelope. In the case of a single-family home, an uninsulated external wall without windows can account for between 20 and 30 percent of the total energy loss. For achieving energy-saving targets, whether these are prescribed by law or voluntary, there is a need for efficient...

NEOPOR® ENHANCES QUALITY OF LIFE Good Insulation Ensures a Pleasant Indoor Climate Thermal comfort in a room depends on two factors: the temperature of the air and the surface temperature on the insides of external walls. Insulating external walls increases the temperature of their inside surfaces, which therefore helps create a better indoor climate. Insulation made of Neopor® provides two benefits at once, because of its greater insulating performance, thinner boards achieve the same effect. Good insulation is also essential for ensuring good hygiene indoors. Mildew can thrive in moist spots...
