Choosing WALLTITE ECO is opting for a product backed by the resources and
know-how of an international leader in the chemical sector.
Recent years have seen an increase in energy costs, a rise in occupant demand for
higher comfort and air quality standards, and trends in building and energy codes
towards mandatory air barriers. This has caused architects and contractors to put
more emphasis on overall building envelope performance.
WALLTITE ECO is a polyurethane insulation/air barrier system intended for institutional,
commercial, industrial and residential use. It provides a gap-free, airtight, monolithic
envelope of low permeability that adheres tenaciously to virtually all surfaces,
smooth or irregular.
BASF developed this engineered building envelope system based on the unique
properties of Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) and other air barrier continuity
components, namely primers and transition membranes on vertical walls.
BASF also developed a Polyurethane Insulating Adhesive (PIA) for the roofing
market. The material has passed FM Global wind uplift tests and adheres
to almost all building materials, including non-nailable decks. Our PIA is totally
water-blown and sets within 5-10 minutes with no Volatile Organic Compound
(VOC) emissions.
To ensure BASF products remain the finest on the market, their performance
is continuously raised to new levels through constant R & D. This research and development has led to an evolution of WALLTITE as a product into WALLTITE ECO.
BASF Canada Inc. trains contractors who use certified and approved
applicators to install WALLTITE. Only these highly trained, experienced and
qualified applicators are approved to install the BASF insulation/air barrier
system. Extensive training, along with third party quality control inspections,
ensures quality installation of all engineered building envelope products.
BASF adheres to sustainable development standards. Its eco-efficiency
approach is designed to increase product value, optimize the use of resources
and reduce environmental impact.
BASF is also a member of the Canadian and US Green Building Council and supports the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) concept.
BASF Canada, along with its suppliers and customers, actively participates in continuous improvement initiatives. The plant located at 10 Constellation Court, Toronto, Ontario, meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 for design, blending, repackaging, storage and delivery of chemicals for polyurethane.
