Icynene Inc.
Established in 1986, Icynene Inc. is the leading manufacturer of spray foam insulation products that are designed to help create Healthier, Quieter, More Energy Efficient® environments.
Icynene® is the insulation of choice for green building around the world, setting a standard for energy performance, comfort and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
As an insulation and air barrier in one, Icynene® minimizes air leakage and creates tighter buildings that can save up to 50% in energy costs. A tighter building often results in the downsizing of heating/cooling equipment for even greater savings. Using less energy to heat and cool a building also means that Icynene® helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions for a healthier planet.
Another integral component of green building is improving indoor air quality, which is accomplished when insulating with Icynene®. Its 100% water-blown formulation contains no PBDEs, HFCs nor any synthetic blowing agent that can off gas into the indoor environment. And its superior air-sealing capabilities keep outdoor allergens and pollutants from leaking to the inside through cracks or voids.
Other benefits of tighter construction with Icynene® include a quieter, evenly heated and cooled, draft-free, and more comfortable indoor environment.
