The Applications for Icynene Closed Cell Insulation

About Icynene

You may have decided that you want Icynene® spray foam insulation due to its superior benefits, but do you know which type of Icynene® insulation you need? It all depends on where in your property, home or business the foam insulation is being applied.

The types of Icynene® are open cell foam and closed cell spray foam insulation. Typically, open cell spray foam is used for indoor applications, and closed cell is used for insulating external areas. This is because Icynene® closed cell is a more rigid foam than open cell. The closed cell structure results in a higher energy efficiency and better air quality indoors.

What are the benefits of choosing closed cell spray foam?

• Offers the best water protection – high resistance to water
• Icynene® promotes energy bill savings of up to 50%
• It is water blown – this means there are no harmful gases (as certified by REACH)
• Icynene® closed cell is made from recycled content – it has the lowest global warming potential
• No PBDEs – it’s safe as it doesn’t contain harmful, fire-retardant chemicals
• It can be sprayed in temperatures as low as -10C – suitable for outside buildings
• Icynene® improves the structural integrity of buildings and houses

Applications of Closed Cell Spray Foam?

Flooring & Ceilings

31% of heat is lost through your floors, ceiling and walls. Icynene® will stop the energy loss.

External Walls

Due to the closed cell structure, water cannot infiltrate the foam insulation.

Commercial & Industrial Buildings

Icynene® significantly improves the thermal insulation & eliminates condensation.

Agricultural Buildings

Being easy to apply to hard to reach areas is one of the reasons to choose closed cell insulation.

Shipping Containers

Icynene® closed cell creates an air barrier and prevents dust & dirt infiltration.
