Raw materials and products
Insulation materials make a significant contribution to the reduction of emission value of the building stock responsible for the highest emission value, which underpins the demand for Masterplast products in the long run.
With its products, the Company contributes to saving up to 50% of the heating and cooling costs of residential and non-residential properties, thus reducing the CO2 emissions of buildings.
The raw materials used in the production and packaging of the company’s products are for the most part non-renewable materials, petroleum derivatives such as EPS or GPPS. Their fossil origin no longer results in emissions as a production raw material and at the same time the products contribute to increase energy efficiency.
These raw materials used in the construction materials industry cannot be replaced on the basis of current technological knowledge, although they are subject to continuous innovation. They have properties that are crucial for insulation, which cannot yet be guaranteed in a stable way for the long term, even for decades, by the materials experimented with as replacements.
Annual purchased quantity’s proportion of total purchased raw materials
Fossil raw materials
(e.g. EPS, PP, GPPS)
Non-fossil materials
(e.g. fiberglass, steel)
The type and quantity of materials used indicates the company’s dependence on natural resources and the indirect impact on their exploitation. At the same time, Masterplast introduces continuous measures to contribute to the conservation of resources through recycling, reuse and recovery.
In the healthcare sector, the raw material for single-use healthcare products is also fossil, but this is the desirable way to clean sheets and protective clothing with chemicals or at 90 degrees Celsius and to further reduce infections supporting the highest level of recycling to reduce the life-cycle product footprint.

Facade thermal insulation systems and elements: our certified facade thermal insulation systems with EPS polystyrene, graphite EPS polystyrene and stonewool insulation core comply with the European ETICS system requirements. Based on our two decades of experience in the marketing and production of thermal insulation materials, we believe that proper insulation of buildings can provide energy savings of up to 70-80% for the average domestic real estate.
Roof underlays and roof accessories: we have 25 years of experience in the marketing of roof underlays. Our wide range of roof underlays includes almost every type of roofing foil.
We offer quality product solutions for interior construction jobs. There is no quicker and simpler method than dry construction for high standard fashioning of interior spaces and surfaces.
Thermal, sound and waterproofing materials: we offer EPS polystyrene, XPS expanded polystyrene, as well as fibreglass, stonewool and expanded polyethylene insulation materials in a wide range of types and sizes.
Construction accessories: we offer a wide range of thermal insulation lightweight concrete and wood wool products, as well as auxiliary products for plastering, surface preparation and finishing works and foils for construction.
Masterplast Medical products: Our personal protective clothing products provide maximum infection protection and contamination prevention, cf. COVID overalls, visitor coats, shoe protectors, hair nets and in the near future, scrubs.
Sheets and other sanitary textile products: bed linen, examination table covers and isolation curtains are included in this category.
Bed pad and mattress protection products provide effective assistance in home and hospital nursing and elderly care. Their use can significantly reduce the nursing staff’s workload.
The lifetime of products can be extended by careful attention and the professional application of the right products during the construction process. The Masterplast Group provides advising support in determining the area of application that meets the technical requirements and the correct use of the technology. It also contributes to the development of the market.
Products involved in product innovation: non-vapour permeable roof underlay, PP fleece, finished healthcare products: overalls, incontinence sheets
Masterplast Group’s products improve the emission value of the European building stock. The energy demand in primary energy of a net-zero energy compliant dwelling/building is 1/6 to 1/9 of that of a building built in the 1980s that has not undergone energy renovation since then. If we want to achieve a net zero requirement for a building built in the 80s, 20 cm of facade insulation and 30 cm of slab insulation should be installed in addition to the renewal of the mechanical engineering and doors and windows.
