Icynene Bows 100% Water-blown SPF
Icynene has introduced ProSeal Eco, a 100 percent water-blown, medium-density closed-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation, for use in commercial and residential projects.
The manufacturer bills ProSeal Eco as a game-changer, describing the two-part insulation as a “smarter replacement for chemically-based medium density, closed-cell spray foam products.”
The product is recommended for use in high-occupancy designs, such as healthcare facilities, multi-residential buildings, educational facilities and other institutional structures.
“The ground-breaking new product is set to change how the construction industry uses closed-cell spray foam insulation thanks to the product’s superior environmentally responsible formulation and wide commercial application possibilities,” Icynene said in a product announcement.
Features, Testing
Icynene ProSeal Eco’s formulation does not include ozone-depleting blowing agents, hydroflurocarbons (HFCs) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), the company says.
The product also features superior adhesion characteristics, R-value, a built-in vapor retarder, and is suitable for projects in climate zone across North America, Icynene says.
ProSeal has been tested in NFPA 285 approved wall assemblies as well as a range of ASTM E119 approved wall assemblies, according to the manufacturer.

Based in Mississauga, Ontario, Icynene manufactures light density open-cell and medium density closed-cell insulation and air barrier materials.
