The demand for Pentanes is high. The reason for this is that this raw material is particularly important in insulation materials for construction and refrigeration appliances. As a foaming agent in Polyurethane (PU) and Polystyrene (EPS, XPS) systems, it ensures excellent insulation performance. Efficient insulation leads to cost savings and contributes to CO₂ reduction. The demand for high-quality Pentanes is therefore high - we at Haltermann Carless are familiar with the market requirements and can offer you tangible solutions.

An anniversary like this is not celebrated every year. While many plastics influence our lives on a daily basis, only very few manage to become truly iconic. Polystyrene in its foamed form, Styropor^®, has accomplished this. 70 years ago, the first patent on foamed Polystyrene was granted. The brand name Styropor^® became immortal and Styropor^® became a synonym for a whole class of products. Haltermann Carless would like to congratulate BASF on this very special anniversary!
