Healthier
Over the years, a number of studies have confirmed that
indoor air can contain a number of harmful chemicals and
biological agents such as mold, allergens and volatile
organic compounds. There is also growing evidence that
poor indoor air quality affects the health and performance
of the people who work, live and study in poorly designed
and constructed buildings. These studies confirm that
air pollution concentrations indoors can be 2 to 5 times
higher than the air we breathe outside (U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency).
Icynene® is
100% water-blown and contains no HCFCs, HFAs, HFCs or
formaldehyde.
Icynene is a high-performance insulation
and air barrier system that works to minimize the intrusion
of outdoor pollen, allergens and pollution from
entering the home. By reducing air
leakage, Icynene assists in controlling moisture
transfer through the building envelope.
This helps to minimize condensation
and the potential for mold growth within
the walls and ceilings.
Icynene has
been tested by Texas Tech University
and was found not to be a food source
for mold.
