Icynene - Soft Foam Insulation and Air Barrier System

The Icynene Insulation System® is a spray-in-place, soft foam insulation and air barrier system that is 100% water-blown and contains no harmful emissions. Icynene is recognised as a green product and Icynene Inc. is a member of the US Green Building Council.

ICYNENE PERMANENTLY FILLS AND SEALS ALL JOINTS, CREVICES AND GAPS

Icynene permanently adheres to the construction material – without shrinking, sagging or settling – while filling and sealing all joints, crevices and gaps. It completely seals any shaped cavity, so there is no compromise between design, functionality and performance. And because Icynene is a soft foam it moves with the expansion and contraction of steel buildings.

INSULATION AND AIR BARRIER SYSTEM

A healthy base for improved indoor air quality, Icynene works as an insulation and air barrier system to minimise air leakage and the intrusion of outdoor allergens and pollutants. And with mould and moisture problems on the rise, Icynene's air-sealing properties hinder moisture transport through the building envelope and the potential for mould growth and mildew.

IMPROVED AIR QUALITY

By achieving superior airtightness, Icynene allows heating and air conditioning equipment size to be reduced so that facility managers can save on equipment costs as well as up to 50% every month in energy costs. When combined with proper mechanical ventilation, Icynene helps building occupants gain more control over the quality of the indoor air they breathe.

SPRAY FORMULA FLEXIBLE INSULATION

Applied as a liquid, Icynene expands to 100 times its volume in seconds to fill every crack and crevice while remaining flexible so that the integrity of the building envelope seal remains intact over time. Icynene's spray formula has an R-value of 3.6/in. It acts as a complete insulation and air barrier to minimise air leakage and seal the building envelope for optimal airtightness.

POUR FILL FORMULA INSULATION AND AIR BARRIER

Icynene's pour fill variation is an insulation and air barrier that injects the latest building technology into an older building to maximise energy efficiency while still preserving its original architectural details. Icynene fills the wall cavity completely, starting at the bottom and slowly expanding upwards to 60 times its initial volume. Since Icynene expands in the direction of least resistance, it will not expand outward and damage the wall. The pour fill formula has an R-value of 4/in.
