At BASF, sustainability isn’t just about reducing harm—it’s about creating lasting good. Through our F.O.A.M. (Future-Oriented Advanced Materials) platform, we design spray polyurethane foam solutions that combine environmental responsibility, material durability, and total building performance. Every project that uses BASF Spray Foam leaves more than a footprint—it leaves a handprint of progress.
We Create F.O.A.M.
Sustainability extends beyond lowering emissions or reducing waste. With our Future-Oriented Advanced Materials, every spray of foam represents a positive impact:
- Durability that reduces waste and extends building lifecycle
- Efficiency that cuts energy use and lowers greenhouse gas emissions
- Innovation that delivers smarter chemistry and higher performance
- Responsibility that supports future generations through better design
Sustainable by Design
BASF Spray Foam products are engineered to perform while reducing environmental impact:
- Our bio-based and recycled content helps replace fossil resources.
- Our biomass balance (BMB) approach supports the circular economy.
- Our low-GWP formulations minimize climate impact.
And with superior R-values and airtight insulation systems, our foams reduce energy consumption over the lifetime of a building.
Creating Impact: Durable, Efficient, Responsible
Built to Last, Built for the Future
A sustainable product isn’t just green—it’s resilient. BASF Spray Foam is designed for long-term performance, while our closed-cell spray foam systems provide structural durability and moisture resistance, reducing the potential of damage or the need for excessive maintenance. That means less material turnover, lower lifecycle costs, and stronger, healthier buildings.
Efficiency that Performs
Every BASF spray foam system contributes to energy savings. By delivering airtightness, moisture control, and long-term thermal performance, our products reduce uncontrolled air leakage, lower utility bills, and help minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
Transparency and Trust
BASF supports its sustainability commitments with third-party testing and documentation. Our Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Health Product Declarations (HPDs), and GREENGUARD certifications provide transparency and help builders, architects, building owners and contractors make informed choices.
Leaving a Handprint, Not Just a Footprint
Traditional sustainability measures often focus only on reducing a footprint—the resources we take. At BASF, we also measure the positive handprint we create: durable products, efficient systems, and responsible chemistry that support stronger communities and a healthier planet.
With BASF Spray Foam, sustainability and performance work together to create real, measurable impact. You can depend on BASF for future-oriented, advanced building envelope materials designed with human and environmental factors in mind. Join us in building the future responsibly.
Additional Info & Helpful Links
- Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
BASF spray foam products are included in the industry Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) commissioned by SPFA. The 3rd party analysis for various product lines and multiple reports were by produced by ASTM. The reports can be accessed at these links:
- EPD for Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation Closed Cell Using Hydrofluorocarbons (CCSPF, HFC)
- EPD for Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation Closed Cell Using Hydrofluoroolefins (CCSPF, HFO)
- EPD for Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation Open Cell (OCSPF)
- EPD for Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation Roofing Cell Using Hydrofluorocarbons (ROOFING SPF, HFC)
- EPD for Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation Roofing Cell Using Hydrofluoroolefins (ROOFING SPF, HFO)
- SPF Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)
This LCA commissioned by SPFA was conducted by the 3rd-party, Sustainable Solutions Corporation. This report compared spray foam with other conventional types of non air-sealing insulation and evaluated SPF's lifespan pollution footprint using carefully modeled virtual homes. The analysis and full detail of the study can be accessed below.
