WALLTITE® from BASF Polyurethanes UK Limited is a
fast applied spray foam insulation system for internal
walls and roofs that once cured, provides a seamless
airtight structure, giving significantly lower U-values
than many conventional alternatives.
The continuous spray leaves a minimal amount of
surface area without insulation resulting in some cases,
a 30%decrease in thermal transmission and an airtight
building envelope of low permeability without the need
for supplementary material.
WALLTITE is made thermally efficient courtesy of its
closed cell structure and needs only a minimal
thickness to achieve maximum energy efficiency.
The closed cell formulation also helps control the
movement of vapour and moisture throughout the
building, reducing the risk of condensation and
mould.

It is extremely durable, does not deteriorate with age
and therefore will perform at the same high level over
the life of the structure. The long term energy
efficiencies can therefore have a significant effect on
reducing fuel bills.
WALLTITE can be applied to almost any substrate with
very little preparation required and no primer. Unlike
conventional insulation materials, there is no waste to
remove after installation and no requirement for storage
on site. PU spray foams arrive in liquid form, unlike fibre
insulation, which is bulky and needs a clean, dry area
for storage. This make scheduling of work much easier
and there are no concerns about multiple or redeliveries.
Installation on site is fast and easy – coverage with
WALLTITE is achieved quickly with one man typically
applying up to 200m² in an eight hour day. Time and
coverage will clearly depend on the thickness
required.
Labour costs are further reduced because there is no
need to finish with a membrane – contractors can go
straight to plasterboard application.
