How it Works
Mixing the Components
SPF Systems are 2
liquid components: “A” + “B” = SPF
Isocyanate
(A-side) + =
Polyol system
(B-side)
These components are pumped
through positive displacement
proportioning pumps, through
heated hoses to a mixing spray
gun.

Residential And Commercial Building
Envelopes
Energy loss in a building is caused by both heat loss and air leaks
Moist air that penetrates the wall system can result in mold, wood rot and pre-mature wall failure
SPF provides greater thermal insulation than any other material
SPF is the only insulating material that provides an air and moisture barrier, and it greatly reduces outside
noise

Residential SPF
Applications
SPF Has Applications Throughout a
Residential Building
Attic/ crawl
space
insulation
Interior wall
insulation
SPF applied to interior or exterior walls saves on energy costs by providing thermal
insulation and sealing gaps and spaces in walls, lowering utility bills
SPF acts as an air and vapor barrier, blocking moisture infiltration and condensation
inside wall cavities
SPF avoids thermal bridging between the outside environment and inside air, providing
year-round air leakage and moisture/vapor protection

SPF In Unvented Attics
Saves Significant Energy

Energy Efficiency, Building Comfort,
And Structure Durability
• “Moisture poses the biggest threat to • SPF improves racking strength in frame wall
structural integrity and durability, accounting constructions up to 300% (NAHB)
for up to 89% of damage in building
envelopes”*
• Exterior application of SPF creates a
seamless, monolithic vapor barrier
Roof deck

Gaps in
Fastener
board insulation
Moisture ingress occurs at seams and joints. SPF roofs provide a seamless moisture barrier
Moisture can cause structural degradation reducing the potential for moisture induced structural
and mold damage
SPF Roofs Increased Versatility And
Durability, Lowering Maintenance Costs
