BASF Corporation

Service Partners is the primary distributor of BASF spray foam products, including both open-cell and closed-cell SPF insulation systems. BASF products available through Service Partners include ENERTITE, SPRAYTITE, WALLTITE and SKYTITE.

ENERTITE® SERIES OPEN-CELL SPF INSULATIONS

ENERTITE is a low-density open-cell spray applied polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation. ENERTITE is applied as a liquid, making it easy to put in hard to reach areas including around pipes and wiring. It expands to many times its original size to completely fill cavities, and it creates a seamless seal. ENERTITE is environmentally friendly, affordable and energy efficient. With a full portfolio of open-cell products, from the high-yield ENERTITE Max with ease of sprayability in a maximum-coverage, mixing required formula, to the simple processing of the no-mix ENERTITE G, and the most recent addition, the ENERTITE X Appendix-X approved system, BASF can meet any specification requirement or builder need.

WALLTITE® SERIES CLOSED-CELL SPF INSULATIONS

WALLTITE is a medium-density closed-cell insulation and air barrier material designed for all construction applications, from residential single- and multi-family to metal buildings, heavy commercial and air barrier / drainage plane applications. This spray-applied monolithic insulating air sealant utilizes an EPA-approved, low-global warming potential, and zero ozone-depleting blowing agent.  WALLTITE eliminates uncontrolled air leakage, improves comfort and safety and improves structural strength. It reduces condensation, moisture and mold problems. It also acts as a secondary water barrier under roof decks while preventing wind uplift, and is approved by FEMA as a flood-damage resistant insulation material. With the WALLTITE Max, BASF is providing the market with one of the lowest cost to install per R closed-cell insulation, while the WALLTITE LWP and Max products have some of the most comprehensive assembly testing available in the US market.

SKYTITE® SERIES CLOSED-CELL SPF ROOFING SYSTEMS

SKYTITE Series roof foams are high-density SPF products utilizing EPA-approved, zero ozone-depleting blowing agents, including new low-GWP solutions that have superior performance, coverage and field characteristics. SKYTITE roof foams are designed for use as insulation in a low-slope roofing system for commercial and residential exterior roof deck applications. SKYTITE coated foam roofing systems are water-resistant and may help to reduce urban heat island effect while improving energy efficiency of buildings. Other uses for SKYTITE high-density SPF products include below grade exterior foundations, under slabs, exterior tanks, digesters and other exterior applications where durability and higher compressive values are desired.

High Performance HP+ Wall Systems

The BASF HP+ Wall Systems are a series of patented, innovative building assemblies designed to enhance the energy efficiency of residential and commercial structures. These systems integrate advanced materials and technologies to create highly insulated and air-tight building envelopes. The insulations in the assembly become a composite structural wall, helping to eliminate sheathing and reduce the amount of studs through advanced engineering approvals.

By improving insulation, air and moisture control, and durability, these systems contribute to reduced energy consumption, increased comfort, and long-term cost savings. Whether for residential or commercial applications, the BASF HP+ Wall Systems are an excellent choice for those seeking to enhance the sustainability and performance of their structures.

Disaster Durable Solutions

One of the key benefits of closed-cell spray foam is its ability to enhance the structural integrity of buildings. When applied, it adheres to the surfaces and fills any gaps or voids, effectively sealing off potential entry points for air, water, and pests. This helps to strengthen the building envelope and reduce the risk of damage from high winds, heavy rains, and other extreme weather conditions. Closed-cell spray foams also offers protection against moisture intrusion, while FEMA recognizes these rigid foams as a flood-damage resistant insulation material, and regional codes may recognize ccSPF as a secondary water barrier. This feature is crucial in disaster-prone areas where flooding or water damage is a concern. Through its adhesive properties, this versatile material can help to reinforce roofs, preventing wind uplift, thereby improving the overall resilience of the building.

BASF’s Disaster Durable Solutions program helps to educate builders and consumers on the resiliency that SPF can provide, through its ability to strengthen the structure, enhance insulation, protect against moisture intrusion, and adhere to various surfaces, making it an effective choice for mitigating the risks associated with natural disasters.

Agriculture Market, Tanks & Metal Buildings

Spray foam insulation offers several significant benefits for the metal building and agricultural market, where BASF has focused on education for building owners, growers and applicators. The primary advantages of SPF used as insulation in or on these metal buildings or tanks is its excellent thermal performance and ability to provide an airtight seal, preventing drafts and reducing energy losses. Spray foam creates a continuous and seamless insulation layer that effectively minimizes heat transfer, helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and controlled environment. This is particularly important in agricultural settings where temperature control is crucial for the health and productivity of livestock or for protecting sensitive crops. Additionally, the closed-cell structure of spray foam acts as a barrier against moisture intrusion, preventing water from entering into the building, which is particularly valuable in agricultural settings. This helps to protect the structural integrity of the building and prevents the growth of mold or mildew, which can be detrimental to the health of livestock or stored crops.

Below Grade, Foundations & Under Slab

BASF pioneered the use of SPF insulation in below-grade and under slab applications across North America. Due to its ability to create an airtight seal, resist moisture infiltration, and provide superior thermal performance, closed-cell SPF is a superior choice for insulation in these areas, greatly reducing heat loss and energy consumption, lowering heating costs. Its closed-cell structure helps to manage water vapor transmission and acts as a a secondary barrier bulk water entry, preventing moisture-related problems in below-grade areas – whether used on the interior or the exterior of the foundation. Spray foam insulation’s excellent adhesion properties ensure long-lasting performance, while its high R-value per inch allows for effective insulation in limited spaces such as basement walls. In addition, BASF was the first HFO spray foam in North America to be tested to control radon, as it helps to prevent soil gas migration through the concrete slab or footing in below-grade applications. Overall, spray foam insulation is a reliable and cost-effective solution for enhancing energy efficiency and preventing moisture-related problems in below-grade areas.
