What is Icynene® Insulation?
It is a superior insulation that weds building
science technology with design performance.
Icynene®:
- is a soft,
spray-in-place, light density, expanding foam
insulation
- acts as both
an insulation and air barrier
- provides
superior control of air leakage
- provides a
custom fit every time it is installed
because it
is applied as
a liquid
and
is
environmentally-friendly, non-toxic,
odorless, and formaldehyde free
 People
consider their homes as a safe haven – a place
where they can escape the noise and pollution of
modern everyday life. Consequently, insulation
must play a multiple role. No longer there just
to insulate, today’s insulation must protect a
home by providing a Healthier, Quieter, More
Energy Efficient® environment.

Conventional fiber
insulation, regardless of R-value, leaves gaps
and seams around framing materials where air can
get in and out. This can lead to costly energy
loss, transfer of airborne pollutants and
pollens into your home and moisture build-up.
When warm outside air meets cool air-conditioned
inside air, or when heated inside air meets cold
outside air, it can lead to condensation,
moisture build-up, and a host of other
problems, such as the growth of mold or
mildew within the building cavity. Unlike
conventional insulation, Icynene® is an
insulation and air barrier material that protects
both new and existing homes from the adverse
health and economic effects of
air leakage. |

Icynene® is ideal for
residential, commercial, industrial and
institutional indoor applications. Icynene®
products are CHPS (California High Performance
Schools) EQ 2.2 Section 01350 Compliant, meeting
nationally recognized requirements as
Low-Emitting Materials (LEM) and Environmentally
Preferable Products (EPP). Icynene® products are
100% water-blown and contain no HFCs or PBDEs.
Icynene® seals out dust, pollen and other
allergens from entering the structure. As air
barriers, Icynene® products minimize the
potential for airborne moisture build-up and
related problems such as mold and mildew. |
Over the past decades there have been countless
breakthrough technologies
in building materials. Icynene®
Insulation
has raised the bar
for the insulation category. |
