Icynene Foam is a two part system consisting of Polyicynene MDI and Polyicynene Resin. The two are supplied to a 1:1 proportioning unit, which hydraulically supplies a mixing gun with equal amounts of each material. Triggering the gun allows the material to be released to the substrate, where it reacts from the mixture and expands to 100 times liquid size, turning into a foam material (Icynene Insulation) which fills all cracks and open cavities in seconds.
Icynene foam insulation is an open celled foam insulation which helps to seal the building envelope. This allows the owner to manage the interior air, using controlled ventilation and eliminates 99% of the unwanted outside air-pollutants. Icynene foam insulation has no CFCs, HCFCs or formaldehydes and is incapable of supporting bacteria or fungus. In fact, Icynene foam insulation is endorsed by the Envirodesic® Building Program, which is sanctioned by the Lung Association.
Nothing performs like Icynene for filling cavities, nooks, and crannies.
Can we use Icynene in our new house or building? What are the advantages?
By insulating the house with Icynene foam, you eliminate the need for house wrap on the outside of your home and plastic electrical boxes around your outlets. Going from 15 inch stud centers up to 24 inch centers eliminates lumber. You can downsize your furnace and air conditioning needs. Now that you have sealed your house from air infiltration this makes your new home very energy cost effective, year after year
A blower door test can be done to see if all cracks around the windows, doors etc. have been total sealed. This gives our customers total satisfaction. It also ensures the house will meet R-2000 standards (1.5 air changes per hr.).
Just remember you can buy appliances anytime, but you can only insulate once!
Poly-Urethane Insulation
Poly-Urethane Insulation is applied in the same manner as Icynene foam insulation, but expands to only 30 times its liquid size. This enables the foam applicator to put on lighter thickness in such places as barns and drive sheds to deterrent rodents from tunneling or distroying the product. It also provides a total seal to the substrate.
Poly-urethane insulation for flat or low slope roofs provides a seamless membrane on the exterior part of the roof. This reduce the chances of leaks combined with a elastomeric coating over the foam insulation, which ensures years of satisfaction to come. It provides you with a new roof plus insulation all in one.
