Message from Epsa: Insulation is not just protection, it’s an investment in the future.

Like a Shield Against Earthquakes: Strong Response from Epsa with Construction Chemicals!
BURSA – Turkey is entering a new era in the construction sector. Today, it’s not only about aesthetics or cost; safety, technical quality, and sustainability take the forefront. One of the key manufacturers at the center of this transformation is EPSA Insulation…

EPSA Insulation is guiding the sector with high-performance technical products specifically developed to increase building durability in our earthquake-prone country. Lightweight materials that reduce structural load, and insulation solutions that prevent energy loss—such as Quadroflex waterproofing mortars, epoxy and polyurethane floor coatings, Budafix flexible adhesives, and fast-setting repair mortars—now serve not only as technical solutions but also as a protective shield for living spaces.

"Construction Chemicals: The Invisible Heroes of Earthquake Preparedness"
Highlighting the critical importance of material quality in high-risk earthquake zones, EPSA Insulation Chairman Nurcan Özdemir emphasizes that technical construction chemicals are not just an architectural detail but a life insurance: “In the construction sector, building long-lasting, environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and safe structures is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. At EPSA, we develop products equipped with sustainable technologies to meet this need. We are building not just today, but the future.”

The Values That Have Carried EPSA to Today: Quality, Trust, Sustainability
Özdemir notes that EPSA exports to over 30 countries and, with production fully compliant with European standards, builds trust both nationally and internationally. She emphasizes that with specially formulated waterproofing mortars, epoxy floor coatings, polyurethane solutions, adhesives, and fast-setting repair mortars, EPSA builds not just structures but trust.

“Our EN, CE, and ISO certified products guarantee world-class quality. We provide not only products but also knowledge, consultancy, and long-term partnerships. We develop strategies for local markets and export not only buildings but confidence as well,” said Nurcan Özdemir. She highlighted that the core values behind EPSA’s success are not only its production capacity but also commitment to quality and mutual trust. With years of experience in the sector, EPSA builds not just today but the future. Özdemir continued:

“Quality is not a goal for us—it’s a starting point. Our insulation products not only protect structures but also enhance energy efficiency and living comfort. Each product is shaped by years of experience, strong R&D infrastructure, and environmental awareness. EPSA responds comprehensively to a wide range of sector needs—not only with EPS (styrofoam) panels, but also with bitumen-based waterproofing, epoxy and polyurethane floor coatings, cement-based repair mortars, ceramic adhesives, and packaging solutions.”

“Quality Is Our Starting Point”
Nurcan Özdemir, Chairperson of EPSA Insulation, summarizes their perspective on construction chemicals:
“Quality is not a goal for us—it is a starting point. Our insulation products do not only protect structures; they also improve energy efficiency and enhance living comfort. Every product is shaped by years of experience, strong R&D infrastructure, and environmental awareness.”
EPSA offers a comprehensive network of safety and durability—not only with EPS panels but also with bitumen-based waterproofing, epoxy and polyurethane floor coatings, cement-based repair mortars, ceramic adhesives, and eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Being a Global Player Is No Longer a Choice, It’s a Necessity
EPSA now exports to over 30 countries. Its products are preferred in major projects across a broad market, from Germany to France and from Qatar to Benin. Regarding this, Özdemir stated:
“The way to remain sustainable in global markets is to develop products tailored to local needs. Today, EPSA produces fully compliant with European standards. Our EN, CE, and ISO-certified products guarantee world-class quality. With our local distributor networks, we develop strategies for each market—exporting not only products but also trust. The world is changing faster than ever. Building long-lasting, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient structures is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity. At EPSA, we develop products equipped with sustainable technologies to meet this need.”

Innovation and Smart Production Are in EPSA’s DNA
EPSA Insulation, one of Turkey’s leading insulation and construction chemicals manufacturers, has started operations at its new facility in Bursa TEKNOSAB. Along with its Eskişehir production plant, the company now has a total production area of 30,000 m². Equipped with smart automation systems, EPSA implements sustainable production. Nurcan Özdemir emphasizes that they see innovation not only as product development but also as shaping the sector’s future:
“The EPSA product range developed under this approach consists of high-tech solutions that maintain performance even under extreme conditions such as heat, humidity, and frost. Liquid membranes, bitumen-based waterproofing systems, and polyurethane coatings are among EPSA’s leading products in global markets. Using fully automated production lines with smart systems, we ensure quality at every stage, not just in the final product. Innovation is integrated into our entire business model, not only in our R&D center. Every product we develop meets not only today’s but also tomorrow’s needs.”

Continuing to Be a Value-Creating Brand
Nurcan Özdemir added that EPSA distinguishes itself by offering long-term partnerships, technical support, and project-based consultancy to its business partners.

Facilities, Smart Chemicals: Full Automation Across 30,000 m²
At its Bursa TEKNOSAB and Eskişehir OSB facilities, EPSA combines smart production capabilities with sustainability principles through fully automated, Industry 4.0-equipped production lines. Liquid membranes, bitumen-based waterproofing systems, and polyurethane floor coatings are EPSA’s star products in global markets.

Insulation Is No Longer an Option, It’s a Strategic Investment
With the new insulation regulation now in effect, insulation is no longer optional but a legal requirement. EPSA’s next-generation EPS boards have been developed with increased thickness and performance to meet this requirement. The goal is not only regulatory compliance but also improved living comfort, energy savings, and environmental sensitivity.

The insulation regulation, enacted to promote energy efficiency and sustainable urbanization, turns insulation from a mere choice into a legal obligation. Nurcan Özdemir emphasized the importance of citizens being more conscious about insulation in this context.

Developed in accordance with the new regulation effective from April 1, 2025, EPSA’s next-generation EPS boards—with enhanced thickness and performance—reflect EPSA’s view that this is not merely compliance but a responsibility. Özdemir stated:
“The construction sector has already started adapting to these new regulations, directing projects toward environmental sensitivity, energy efficiency, and enhanced living comfort. At EPSA, we are not only part of this transformation but also one of its carriers, pioneers, and responsible actors. We see insulation not just as a technical necessity but as a strategic investment in the future, a reflection of our responsibility toward the environment, and a key to societal well-being. For us, insulation is not only about protecting buildings; it is about improving energy efficiency, protecting the environment, and enhancing quality of life. That is why at all the fairs we attend, we showcase not only our products but also the importance we attach to insulation awareness and our vision. At EPSA, we offer not only products but also knowledge, trust, sustainability, and value. We build not only today but also the future.”
