The Icynene® Insulation and Air Barrier System
05 March 2007
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 recognized as a green product and the company is a member of the US Green Building Council. 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 shape of cavity so there is no compromise between design, functionality and performance. Because Icynene is a soft foam, it moves with the expansion and contraction of steel buildings.
A healthy base for improved indoor air quality, Icynene works as an insulation and air barrier system to minimize air leakage and the intrusion of outdoor allergens and pollutants. And with mold and moisture problems on the rise, Icynene's air-sealing properties hinder moisture transport through the building envelope and the potential for mold growth and mildew.
By achieving superior airtightness, Icynene allows heating and air conditioning equipment size to be reduced so that facility managers can save on equipment costs and 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.
