- Building Envelope Guide Specification – This
BASF PFE guide specification is an example for design
professionals to use when preparing written specifications
for the use of our spray foam insulation materials.
We have them posted on www.arcat.com which is used
by professionals in the construction industry. They
are also included on our website www.basf-pfe.com
site.
- Construction Detail Drawings – Standard
details normally will accompany most written specifications
for a project. These are sample details that are
typically found in building constructions showing
the use of BASF PFE spray foam insulation. They can
also be found on the www.acrat.com professional’s
site as well as our www.basf-pfe.com
site.
- Building
Package – This package has specifically
been created to help your sales effort of BASF PFE
products to the builder. The message has been created
to help you the features and benefits to the builder.
It is on our www.basf-pfe.com website so you can
download or send the builder to our website.
- Frequently
Asked Question and Answers - This literature has
been created to help you save time with some
of the common questions that are asked about the
applications and materials. It is also available
for download from our website.
- LEED Brochure – It
has been predicted that over 50% of homes built in
2010 will be “green
built” homes. This makes it important for us
to have the green story on the construction materials
that BSAF PFE has made for the insulation market.
We pride ourselves in the environmental responsibility
of BASF as a corporation as well as the products
they produce. This brochure explains some of the
LEED programs and possible points available for consideration
when some of our products are used.
- BASF PFE Insulation
Card – The 2006 International
Energy Efficiency Code requires that the insulation
information for all new residential constructions
be posted next to the electrical panel box. We have
prepared forms for you to download and use, so that
you can use them to comply with the building code
requirements.
- Code Checks – This information
has been created to answer some of the common building
code
questions that come up. This “High Temperature
Limitations” sheet has been prepared to explain
the physical changes that occur when the spray polyurethane
foam material is exposed to high temperatures in
its finished foam form. It also explains common building
construction area’s where hot surface contact
could lead to possible problems so our materials
proper use is understood.
- Code Checks – The
spray foam is to be tested for flame spread and smoke
development at the thickness
it is intended to be used. The maximum design thickness
intended for the ASTM E-84 test apparatus is 4 inches
thick. We have conducted alternative testing to allow
greater thickness finished applications for the BASF
PFE spray foam products. This Code check explains
this issue and offers clarification for the reader.
- Plant
Based Foam Ingredients – Today in
the market place many claims are being launched to
claim that one construction product may be better
for the environment vs. another. This is very difficult
for a person to make decisions unless they understand
all of the facts. This sheet has been prepared to
help explain some of the components of our spray
foam systems. We also have an Ecco Analysis and much
more information on our web site that relates to
BASF PFEs products and production processes.
This list is a highlight of some of the “tools” or
resources that will be part of the resource kit or
contractor kit we are building up.
