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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

With BASF Elastoflex, pipeline inspection gauges (PIG) with a foam core do a perfect job when it comes to cleaning and maintaining the pipeline without interrupting the process flow.

The special product properties make the pigs highly resilient and ensure good compressive strength.

In order to give you maximum application flexibility, BASF Elastocast provides the typically polyester-based pig discs as two or three component systems processed by hand or multi component machines, depending on item size and gel time.
