                                                         VOC Emissions Test Report

 

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation is the fastest growing segment of the building insulation market. This growth rate is due in part to government regulations mandating more energy efficient structures.

SPF insulation has characteristics that make it unique among building products. In particular, SPF insulation is made onsite in a building by reacting two chemical mixtures. As the chemicals react, an expanding foam is created. Initial curing occurs rapidly to form a rigid product. The foam provides insulation properties and creates an air infiltration and moisture barrier. The two chemical components are an “A” side typically comprised of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI) and a "B" side that is a mixture of polyols, catalysts, blowing agent, flame retardant, and surfactants. Professional applications of open-cell and closed-cell SPF insulation are performed by trained workers using a high-pressure spray system and wearing personal protective equipment. SPF manufacturers typically provide guidance on building ventilation and other engineering controls during spraying, worker re-entry times following applications and, in the case of occupied buildings, re-occupancy times for residents and the general population.

Because the product is produced onsite with highly reactive chemicals there are concerns about potential chemical exposures. The U.S. EPA discusses potential exposures, factors that may influence exposures and how consumers can reduce exposure risks.

And at the request of French customer, we sent FIRM BOND spray polyurethane foam to Eurofins in Denmark lab to test its VOC emissions.

We get a best conclusion: A+
