ELASTOCOOL ® ADVANCED
- NEXT GENERATION MATERIALS
In the past few years, the market trend in appliances has
quickly shifted to energy-saving and environmentally-sound
units. While consumers demand ways to minimize their
energy bills, realizing that refrigerators equipped with the
right insulation have a direct cost-saving impact, BASF
polyurethane's has increasingly become the material of
choice. Its outstanding insulation performance makes it
possible for refrigerators to consume less energy while saving
on electricity costs.
In the competitive world of appliance marketing,
manufacturers are increasingly opting for the most costeffective
solutions to shorten the production cycle time while
enhancing processing efficiency.
Cost-effective insulation is a cutting-edge feature and what’s
more, the versatility of polyurethane also provides diversity in
the scope of design freedom for refrigerator manufacturers.
The solution is clear – BASF polyurethanes' combines
excellent insulation performance with minimal material
thickness, allowing for greater internal storage space to
benefit consumers. Its exceptional effectiveness as an
insulant makes it the best option for manufacturers as
energy efficiency becomes a key factor for consumers in the
purchase decision making process.

ELASTOCOOL ® FEATURES
■ Reduced cost, improved operation
Elastocool ® technology has been developed to enhance
processing efficiency, flow characteristics and gel and demolding
time. With the superior insulating K-factor and a
shortened production cycle, costs are significantly reduced
with enhanced product quality.
■ Customization
With Elastocool ® Advanced, various blends of PU can be
tailored to match customers’ needs. Elastocool ® systems
solutions are customized depending on a manufacturer’s
processing requirements. Factors such as viscosity, fill
and curing rates are designed to meet current and future
energy requirements, environmental challenges and the
aesthetic design of products.
■ Energy efficiency
The outstanding thermal insulation properties of
Elastocool ® rigid foams, combined with their sealing
function, makes them an ideal choice for sustainability.
With rising energy costs energy-efficiency requirements
have become increasingly more stringent, making
consumers more conscious in the process. Taking these
factors into consideration, Elastocool ® is the right energy
efficient solution to overcome such challenges.

APPLICATIONS
Refrigerators and Freezers
Elastocool ® is widely acknowledged as having the best
insulation performance for household refrigerators and
freezers.
Elastocool ® technology has developed a stable, impactresistant
structure that “sandwiches” a highly-durable bond
between the interior and exterior casing.
Consumer appliances: household refrigerator, picnic cooler
boxes …
Commercial appliances: showcases, walk-in coolers,
vending machines …
Water Heaters and Boilers
Elastocool ® is the ideal material for boilers and heaters
with its outstanding insulation performance. In contrast
to a refrigerator, the Elastocool ® technology ensures heat
exchange while preventing heat loss between the interior and
exterior environments.
Commercial appliances: electric water heaters, solar-driven
water heaters …
KEY BENEFITS
