Steam cracker II, the largest individual plant at BASF's Ludwigshafen site, covers a surface area of about 64,000 square meters, which is about the size of 13 soccer fields. The steam cracker is also the heart of BASF's Verbund production strategy. This giant plant has been operating since 1981 and uses steam to crack naphtha at about 850°C [1,562°F]. This process leads primarily to ethylene and propylene, both indispensable feedstocks for manufacturing numerous products in Ludwigshafen.Print free of charge.

Pipe insulation
Why using PU for pipe insulation?
Elastopor H – Thermal efficiency, resistance to temperature and high durability!
Pipe insulation for long-distance energy transport is a further area of application. Resistance to high temperatures, high durability, excellent insulating properties and simple processing methods are the features characterising Elastopor H. BASF systems are processable by using continuous and discontinuous production methods. Our range of systems are formulated for suite both rigid and flexible piping. Special targeted flame-proof Elastopor H grades are used in the production of insulated pipes for use in the chemical industry.
