Why is Spray Foam Insulation a "Green Product"

�� Contains Post Consumer Recycled Plastics, Removed from the
Waste Stream
�� Contains No Ozone Depleting Chemicals or Formaldehyde
�� Non Off-Gassing, No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
�� Reduces Heating & Cooling Equipment Size by 25 - 40%
�� Seals Against Air Infiltration Which Accounts for 40 to 50% of a
Homes Energy Loss, According to the US Department Of Energy
�� Is Manufactured on-site, Reducing Transportation Energy Usage
�� Does Not Support Mold and Mildew Growth

If it’s Green and Healthy, Why are they Wearing Hazmat Gear?

A) Spray Foam Expands 130 Percent in the first 3-4 seconds and it
sticks to everything. If an installer were to inhale the unexpanded
foam during spraying it could cause respiratory distress. The
coveralls and gloves simply keep it from sticking to their clothes
and body.
