The MAAS Profile / BEMO Systems GmbH company group, that produces and markets high-grade metal profiles for roofs, facades, and ceilings in Germany, has joined hands with BASF, a leading chemical company, to develop polyamide insulation bracket for ventilated facade made of the thermoplastic Ultramid.
The newly developed Ultramid brackets has been awarded a Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt) national technical approval. Armed with this plastics component, building owners and architects can meet the tougher requirements of the Energy Efficiency Ordinance (EnEV). The load-bearing mounting system features not only extremely low thermal conductivity, but also outstanding and long-term strength, according to a press release.The MAAS Profile / BEMO Systems GmbH company group, that produces and markets high-grade metal profiles for roofs, facades, and ceilings in Germany#
For this project, MAAS-BEMO and BASF have pooled their expertise and developed the bracket of glass-fibre-reinforced Ultramid through to market maturity. As a manufacturer of engineering plastics, BASF with its wealth of expertise was able to help MAAS-BEMO in selecting the materials, developing the product and obtaining the approval.
Dr. Kay Brockmüller, BASF project manager in applications development for engineering plastics in the construction sector said, “The material has outstanding insulating characteristics, withstands high loads, hardly ages at all (unlike many other plastics), and is UV-resistant as well as extremely tough. For building owners and architects, a genuine alternative to conventional metal fasteners is thus available as an assurance of optimal insulation and energy efficiency.”
Bernd Schröter, managing director of the installer S+T Fassaden said, “We’ve equipped several buildings with these innovative brackets in the last few years because building owners attach importance to outstanding insulation. We managed to execute the installation work much faster than with conventional systems using metal brackets, as the bracket with its sharp edges cuts through the insulation itself.”
The brackets are marketed by MAAS Profile, BEMO Systems GmbH and distributors Systea Pohl Gmbh, GABS AG and BWM Dübel + Montagetechnik GmbH. (GK)
