We can't always predict the weather.

But we can build and retrofit stronger homes, buildings and structures to prepare for the worst.

When it comes to disaster resiliency, the building envelope - the part that separates the outside from the inside - is one of the most important parts of the house. The key is to design a seamless building envelope with every element (roof, foundation and walls) securely attached and airtight. That means no gaps or holes where wind or water can enter and cause damage.

When disaster strikes, BASF is there to fight back - and build back better:

Creating a diverse portfolio of disaster durable products that positively impact energy, air sealing, speed of construction and accuracy of installation
Meeting the most stringent codes for structural performance, like Factory Mutual Approvals and Miami-Dade County Standards
Aligning with the insurance industry, design professionals, government agencies and non-government organizations to rebuild faster, save money, reduce waste and pollution, and speed the transition to more sustainable communities

Disasters are more frequent and more costly.

According to the NOAA National Centers for Environment Information (NCEI), 2024 was the 4th costliest year with 27 weather and climate disasters and nearly $182.7 billion in damages and the damage from US billion-dollar disaster events from 1980 to 2024, totals over $2.915 trillion.

WALLTITE^®

WALLTITE^® is a high-performance, closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation that creates a seamless insulating air barrier to help improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and durability of homes and buildings. Spray-applied as a liquid, WALLTITE^® expands and adheres to most substrates, flowing into cracks, joints, and hard-to-reach areas to form an airtight seal. Its closed-cell structure also adds rigidity and can help reduce air leakage and moisture intrusion, supporting long-term building performance. WALLTITE^® easily seals corners and transitions, as well as areas around pipes, wiring, and other openings.

SKYTITE^®

SKYTITE^® high-performance roofing systems provide seamless, leak-free protection from the elements, delivering some of the highest wind uplift and hail resistance ratings in the industry. Spray-applied as a liquid, these exterior low-slope roofing systems are self-flashing and easily conform to unusual shapes and complex details, helping create a continuous, monolithic membrane. SKYTITE can be applied over many existing substrates, reducing disruption, minimizing the need for costly tear-offs, and helping cut landfill waste. The result is durable, long-lasting roof protection that supports building resilience and performance.
