ARCHITECTS

BioBased Spray Foam Insulation leads the building performance revolution.

As an architect, you are constantly searching for products that increase design flexibility and minimize building liabilities. Products from BioBased Foam Insulation can help you address those challenges.

BioBased Spray Insulation is working towards increasing the sustainability of spray foam insulation. One way we do that is by replacing a portion of the petroleum content with bio-based content. Our bio-based products contain 3-16% bio-content in the finished foam based on third-party testing. We also work to incorporate alternative ingredients in our products to make them more sustainable, such as using water as a blowing agent. Last of all we seek third-party certifications to verify the impact of our spray insulation products.

Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation

BioBased 501w spray foam is a semi-rigid, open celled air barrier that is spray applied using water as the blowing agent. It performs well in a variety of applications, has low VOCs in the finished foam and no CFCs or HCFCs. It has a density of 8kg (0.5 lb), and thermal conductivity of 0.038 w/mk. BioBased 501w spray foam insulation was voted "Outstanding Green Product of the Year 2003" at NAHB's National Green Building Conference.

BioBased 501s spray foam is our second-generation open celled air barrier with a 8kg (0.5 lb) density. It also is spray applied using water as the blowing agent. It has low VOCs in the finished foam and no CFCs or HCFCs. It has a thermal conductivity value of 0.038 w/mk and incorporates Agrol®, our bio-based polyol.

Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation

BioBased 1701s spray foam is a closed cell, air barrier that is spray applied using water as the blowing agent. It has no CFCs or HCFCs. It has a density of 27kg (1.7 lbs) and a thermal conductivity of 0.026 w/mk. It incorporates Agrol® bio-based polyol.

Closed Cell Sealants

BioBased Spray Foam Insulation also offers two closed cell sealants that can be used in a variety of industrial and agricultural applications including sealing livestock houses; soil and rock stabilization; pipeline trench breaker; pad, pillow and poly backfill; crack and joint sealing and post and pole setting. These products are available in 48 kg (3 lb) and 96kg (6 lb) formulations.

BioBased Insulation is committed to delivering the product evaluation, testing and engineering necessary to satisfy the most discriminating Architect or Engineer. Irish climate conditions require system design approaches that address such climate challenges. Non-vented roof system design, thermal performance comparisons, vapour barrier elimination and fire issues are successful building design paths unique to the new generation of microcellular, semi-open celled, air barrier insulation systems.
