Elastopor^® & Elastospray^® - Rigid insulation foam

Pipeline insulation prevents heat loss and in cold climates helps maintain a warmer pipe temperature to avoid freezing or cracking. BASF polyurethane systems provide high mechanical strength and thermal performance for a variety of applications including oil and gas pipelines, district water pipes and industrial tanks. BASF systems for pipeline insulation can be used to meet CSA/ISO standards and have local production in the United States and Canada.

Elastospray^® - Breakers

BASF rigid polyurethane foam systems are ideal for pipeline construction projects that require ditch breaks for erosion and sedimentation control.  BASF breaker foam systems are designed for high throughput installation offering less labor intensive installation and better pipeline support than alternatives such as sandbags, straw bales, and silt fencing.

Breakers are built without the aid of a form and can be sprayed vertically from the top of the ditch, eliminating hazard.  

Elastospray^® - Pillows

BASF polyurethane systems for pipeline pillows  provide excellent compressive strength and protect the pipeline from damage in the ditch.  Fast and easy to install, pipeline pillow systems improve safety during pipeline installation.

Elastospray^® - Rock Shield

BASF polyurethane systems for rock shielding are fast, effective alternatives to rock guard or sand and can be applied on the most rugged of terrain.

Elastotite^® ROCK GLUE- Resilient Erosion Control.

Resilient and durable, ROCK GLUE is a highly effective solution for erosion control and shoreline protection. ROCK GLUE is an open-pored revetment solution that maintains structural integrity and can be used in a variety of applications including shorelines, rivers, drainage channels, and other embarkments.

ROCK GLUE offers significant design flexibility for integration into natural landscapes. The monolithic, porous structure easily conforms into various shapes and promotes natural re-vegetation.

Elastoshore^® - GSPU Pipeline Insulation

BASF Elastoshore GSPU insulation material was specially developed for flow assurance in deep waters. The excellent thermal properties ensure a constant temperature and therefore continuous flow of the oil inside the pipeline even over long distance. As a result, the amount of chemicals injected into the oil can be reduced significantly- a real cost saver.

Elastoshore^® - Anode Taper Materials

Elastoshore anode taper materials fill the gap between the metal pipe and anode. The fast-curing polyurethane from BASF Elastoshore range reliably keeps the sacrificial anode intact.

BASF provides materials for two processing techniques: by machine or by hand. The anode taper can be used even in places where there is no machinery available.

Elastoshore^® -VIV Strake Materials

Pipeline are subject to extremely strong forces on its way from the stinger to the bottom of the ocean.  The helix-shaped, elastomer-molded fins of VIV strakes vertically drain off high horizontal water flow velocities and prevent the pipeline from vibrating. BASF polyurethane materials for VIV strakes  have outstanding properties: easily achieving stinger loads of 70 tons or more.

Elastoshore^® - Bend Restrictor Materials

BASF elastomers for bend restrictors are molded into shapes like a spiral column, protecting the pipeline against overloading and buckling.  Bend restictors allow the pipeline to flex- but not too much. The pipeline stays exactly in the right position, regardless of the flow of the material inside.

Elastoshore^® - Bend Stiffener Materials

BASF Elastoshore bend stiffener materials material is suitable for both static and dynamic systems. Straight and stiff or able to move dynamically: BASF  tailors solutions  to the application required. Bend stiffeners produced with BASF materials protect the pipe from tensile and bending forces through delimitation of the bending radii, restricting both movement and stress.
