<strong>Neopor</strong> ® —The Simple Way of Build<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
Insulat<strong>in</strong>g With Insulat<strong>in</strong>g Concrete Forms (ICF)<br />
Insulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms made of <strong>Neopor</strong> ® can be<br />
produced with special mold<strong>in</strong>g forms. They are used<br />
as wall and ceil<strong>in</strong>g elements. Thanks to <strong>the</strong> special<br />
connection system, <strong>the</strong> elements are easily assembled<br />
on <strong>the</strong> construction site and can <strong>the</strong>n, with or without<br />
re<strong>in</strong>forcement, be filled with concrete. The f<strong>in</strong>ished<br />
<strong>in</strong>terior and exterior walls are monolithically molded<br />
concrete walls with very good <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g properties.<br />
This construction system is cost-efficient, fast, and<br />
earthquake-proof.<br />
Insulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms made of <strong>Neopor</strong> have also<br />
proven to be extremely suitable <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> construction<br />
of low-energy and passive houses. With <strong>Neopor</strong>, it<br />
is possible to achieve significantly higher <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
properties than with conventional EPS for those<br />
build<strong>in</strong>g components where <strong>the</strong> heat <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
properties are of special importance.<br />

The Ma<strong>in</strong> Advantages at a Glance<br />
Fast assembly—The light weight of <strong>the</strong> form elements<br />
made of <strong>Neopor</strong> ® expandable polystyrene granules<br />
(EPS) and <strong>the</strong> simple process<strong>in</strong>g method ensure<br />
a quick and economic construction progress. The<br />
assembly of <strong>the</strong> elements is simple and possible<br />
without any special construction tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and heavy<br />
construction equipment. A team of 3-4 experienced<br />
workers is able to set up<br />
<strong>the</strong> walls of a average s<strong>in</strong>gle-family house with<strong>in</strong> a<br />
s<strong>in</strong>gle day.<br />
Rational logistics—The weight per m² of masonry<br />
of form elements made of <strong>Neopor</strong> only amounts to<br />
a fraction of that of stones or concrete. This considerably<br />
facilitates <strong>the</strong> logistics on <strong>the</strong> construction site<br />
and speeds up <strong>the</strong> construction process.<br />
Simple process<strong>in</strong>g method—Form elements can<br />
easily be cut to size with a usual handsaw, a knife,<br />
or a hot-wire cutter. Holes or slots for electrical and<br />
sanitary <strong>in</strong>stallations can be formed <strong>in</strong> a time- and<br />
cost-sav<strong>in</strong>g manner.<br />
Flexible wall cladd<strong>in</strong>g—After fill<strong>in</strong>g up with concrete,<br />
<strong>the</strong> walls can be plastered without any additional<br />
substrate preparation. Virtually any k<strong>in</strong>d of cover<strong>in</strong>g<br />
material can also be used for <strong>the</strong> cladd<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>in</strong>terior<br />
walls. For <strong>in</strong>stance, tiles can be glued directly onto<br />
<strong>the</strong> form elements.<br />
Efficient build<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong>sulation—With <strong>the</strong> comparably<br />
th<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms made of <strong>Neopor</strong>, it is<br />
possible to achieve an equally efficient acoustic and<br />
<strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>in</strong>sulation as with <strong>the</strong> significantly thicker<br />
"classical" wall<strong>in</strong>g materials. This provides for<br />
valuable extra liv<strong>in</strong>g space without chang<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
footpr<strong>in</strong>t of <strong>the</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Durable and solid—Due to <strong>the</strong> massive concrete<br />
core, <strong>the</strong> houses constructed with <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete<br />
forms have <strong>the</strong> same durability and stability as<br />
conventional build<strong>in</strong>gs. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
layer of <strong>Neopor</strong> protects <strong>the</strong> load-bear<strong>in</strong>g concrete<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st adverse wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions. In Germany and<br />
<strong>the</strong> U.S., <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms have safely proven<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir<br />
efficacy over decades.<br />
Highly resistant and safe—Robust concrete, an<br />
energy-sav<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>sulation and <strong>the</strong> cost-effective build<strong>in</strong>g<br />
method make <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms made<br />
of <strong>Neopor</strong> <strong>the</strong> ideal protection aga<strong>in</strong>st earthquakes,<br />
storms, or floods<br />
<strong>in</strong> disaster-prone regions.<br />

Insulat<strong>in</strong>g Concrete Forms Made of <strong>Neopor</strong> ® —<br />
Invest <strong>in</strong> a Global and Cost-Effective Build<strong>in</strong>g<br />
System with Added Performance<br />
For <strong>the</strong> production of <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms (ICF)<br />
made of <strong>Neopor</strong>, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Neopor</strong> granules supplied by <strong>BASF</strong><br />
are foamed <strong>in</strong> prefoam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es and <strong>the</strong>n pressed<br />
<strong>in</strong>to various shapes <strong>in</strong> so-called „bak<strong>in</strong>g molds“. The<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ished <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms (ICF) are <strong>the</strong>n directly<br />
delivered to <strong>the</strong> construction site, where, thanks to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
low weight, <strong>the</strong> unload<strong>in</strong>g and transport<strong>in</strong>g on site can<br />
be done without <strong>the</strong> use of cranes or heavy mach<strong>in</strong>ery.<br />
Especially <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> case of large-scale construction<br />
projects, such as residential estates or bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
enters with numerous build<strong>in</strong>gs, <strong>the</strong> production facilities<br />
for <strong>Neopor</strong> <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete forms (ICF) can also<br />
be <strong>in</strong>stalled <strong>in</strong> close vic<strong>in</strong>ity of <strong>the</strong> construction site.<br />
Due to on-site production, it is possible to reduce<br />
time-consum<strong>in</strong>g and costly material transports and<br />
construction times. This allows for an <strong>in</strong>creased<br />
cost-effectiveness of construction projects.<br />

<strong>Neopor</strong> ® —Keep<strong>in</strong>g cool<br />
In regions with a ra<strong>the</strong>r cool climate, such as Central<br />
Europe, build<strong>in</strong>gs have been successfully <strong>in</strong>sulated<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st cold for decades. But <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>in</strong>sulation<br />
is also of <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g importance <strong>in</strong> hot climates,<br />
such as <strong>in</strong> GCC countries. Here, however, <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
materials are ma<strong>in</strong>ly used for <strong>the</strong> cool<strong>in</strong>g of build<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
to counteract penetrat<strong>in</strong>g heat. Consider<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g worldwide shortage of energy and raw<br />
materials, this allows for a cut of <strong>the</strong> tremendous<br />
cool<strong>in</strong>g energy costs <strong>in</strong>curred by air-condition<strong>in</strong>g<br />
systems as well as of <strong>in</strong>vestments for <strong>the</strong> power<br />
plants necessary for <strong>the</strong>ir operation. In Dubai<br />
City, for <strong>in</strong>stance, <strong>the</strong> use of efficient <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
materials for new build<strong>in</strong>gs is <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> meantime<br />
required by law.<br />
Thermal Insulation Aga<strong>in</strong>st Heat<br />
for a Pleasant Indoor Climate with <strong>Neopor</strong> ®<br />
The purpose of <strong>the</strong>rmal <strong>in</strong>sulation <strong>in</strong> hot climates is to<br />
reduce <strong>the</strong> heat <strong>in</strong>put result<strong>in</strong>g from direct exposure to<br />
solar radiation <strong>in</strong> order to keep <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terior pleasantly<br />
cool. The outside temperature constantly rises from<br />
<strong>the</strong> early morn<strong>in</strong>g hours until <strong>the</strong> afternoon, <strong>the</strong> room<br />
temperature reach<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> external temperature after<br />
a certa<strong>in</strong> delay. The longer <strong>the</strong> heat flux through <strong>the</strong><br />
outer envelope <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terior of <strong>the</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g takes,<br />
<strong>the</strong> better <strong>the</strong> rooms are protected aga<strong>in</strong>st undesirable<br />
overheat<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Heat transfer through walls <strong>in</strong> hot climates<br />
Massive and highly <strong>in</strong>sulated wall constructions generally<br />
respond ra<strong>the</strong>r slowly to temperature changes<br />
and keep <strong>the</strong> room temperature at a constant level.<br />
This provides for a pleasant <strong>in</strong>door climate.<br />
How much heat arrives <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terior also depends<br />
on <strong>the</strong> efficiency of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>sulation material used. With<br />
its low <strong>the</strong>rmal conductivity, <strong>the</strong> high-performance<br />
<strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g material <strong>Neopor</strong> ® limits <strong>the</strong> penetration of<br />
heat from <strong>the</strong> warm to <strong>the</strong> cold side of a build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a<br />
particularly efficient way—from <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>side outward at<br />
low temperatures and from <strong>the</strong> outside <strong>in</strong>ward at high<br />
temperatures.<br />

Reduction of Cool<strong>in</strong>g Energy Consumption<br />
Insulat<strong>in</strong>g Concrete Forms (ICF) Made of <strong>Neopor</strong> ®<br />
Infrared absorbers and reflectors conta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>Neopor</strong> ®<br />
reduce heat dissipation and allow for an improvement<br />
of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g performance by 20% <strong>in</strong> comparison to<br />
standard EPS. Calculations carried out by <strong>the</strong> renowned<br />
Passive House Institute <strong>in</strong> Darmstadt (Germany) have<br />
shown that <strong>in</strong> hot climates, a build<strong>in</strong>g envelope <strong>in</strong>sulated<br />
with <strong>Neopor</strong> both decreases <strong>the</strong> excess heat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
frequency and <strong>the</strong> hours of active cool<strong>in</strong>g required.<br />
Depend<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> respective house and construction<br />
type, this results <strong>in</strong> a reduction of energy consumption<br />
for cool<strong>in</strong>g by at least 30% and a decrease <strong>in</strong><br />
CO 2 emissions.<br />
In this regard, <strong>the</strong> tried and tested <strong>in</strong>sulat<strong>in</strong>g concrete<br />
forms (ICF) made of <strong>Neopor</strong>, which are filled with<br />
concrete after simple and fast assembly, are<br />
particularly cost-effective and efficient.<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation of massive concrete and an<br />
<strong>in</strong>ner and outer <strong>in</strong>sulation layer, ICF is ideally suited <strong>in</strong><br />
wall construction <strong>in</strong> climatically hot regions.<br />
