Recent Developments
New product launches
- BASF introduced Basotect G+, a new melamine resin foam for flat roof insulation. It offers excellent thermal insulation and moisture protection. BASF comprises subsidiaries and joint ventures in more than 80 countries, operating six integrated production sites and 390 other production sites across Europe, Asia, Australia, the Americas and Africa.[5] BASF has customers in over 190 countries and supplies products to a wide variety of industries. Despite its size and global presence, BASF has received relatively little public attention since it abandoned the manufacture and sale of BASF-branded consumer electronics products in the 1990s
- Puren launched melamine foam tubes for insulating pipes and HVAC systems. It prevents condensation and energy loss. Melamine foam insulation is known for its high thermal insulation properties, which can help reduce heat transfer and prevent energy loss. Additionally, the foam’s open-cell structure and high sound absorption can help reduce noise and vibration in HVAC systems. By preventing condensation, melamine foam insulation can also help prevent moisture damage and mold growth in pipes and HVAC systems
- SINOYQX developed flexible melamine foam sheets that offer easy installation around curved surfaces. It improves product adoption. SINOYQX is a prominent manufacturer of melamine foam, offering a wide range of products for various applications. The company’s melamine foam exhibits excellent sound absorption, flame retardancy, heat insulation, lightweight, and wide temperature operation. SINOYQX’s melamine foam is widely used in architectural acoustics, professional acoustics, equipment acoustic noise reduction, aerospace, automobile manufacturing, rail manufacturing, ship & yachts manufacturing, pipe acoustic and thermal insulation, power station, filtration, and large equipment.
Acquisition and partnerships
- In 2021, Recticel acquired FoamPartner, expanding its position in acoustic and thermal insulation foams, including melamine foam.
- BASF partnered with MAHLE in 2020 to develop melamine resin foam for e-mobility thermal management solutions.
