About the Topic: Closed Cell Spray Polyurethane Foam; much more than an Insulation
Closed Cell Spray Polyurethane Foam (ccSPF) is well known as a “high R value per inch” insulation product. In this presentation we will discuss this and the many other characteristics and credentials of ccSPF that allow it to be used to control not only thermal, but also air, water, soil gas and even fire. We will review the basic chemistry of ccSPF and some of the recent changes to the blowing agents (HFO) that result in it being one of the most sustainable insulation products (low GWP) thereby reducing the buildings embodied energy. Information on limitations, cautions and how to ensure the product you are using is certified for Canada and that the published R value is appropriate for design purposes (LTTR). Take aways will help the designer with product selection, Code compliance, specifications, and the quality of the installation.
