New Generation Spray Foam is used in a wide variety of home and commercial building projects, as well as renovations. It has many benefits, including improved energy efficiency, enhanced indoor comfort and health, increased home value, and more. Proper installation requires the skills of a professional contractor. The type of insulation chosen should be based on the project requirements and the climate.
While spraying, insulating foam emits fumes that can be irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract without proper ventilation. These fumes contain isocyanates, which can cause a rash and severe allergic reactions in some individuals. Over time, repeated exposure can result in asthma and even chemical bronchitis.
How New Generation Spray Foam Delivers Superior Home Insulation
When properly installed, spray foam insulation is long-lasting, outliving cellulose and fiberglass by up to 80 or 100 years. It is also resistant to sagging and settling, so homeowners can expect it to last the lifetime of the house.
Unlike older types of insulation, spray foam is non-toxic after it’s cured. However, during the curing process, it emits a gas that can trigger eye irritation and breathing difficulties in people who are exposed to it directly. This is because isocyanates are powerful irritants to the eyes and gastrointestinal tract, and direct skin contact can result in a rash or allergy.
The good news is that reformulated spray polyurethane foams with only a fraction of the global warming potential of their predecessors are becoming more widely available. Texas-based Demilec, for example, is offering a medium-density closed-cell spray foam insulation/air barrier with a hydrofluoroolefin blowing agent, the next generation of chemistry for the industry.
