Spray foam insulation (SPF) has outstanding insulation properties when compared to traditional building materials and can be an important tool when designing a new roof. However, spray foam insulation can also prove to be a valuable tool for existing roof restoration. This course will provide an overview of the benefits of spray foam insulation, specific applications for the material, and the importance of utilizing trained installers for the installation.
Huntsman Building Solutions was born in May 2020, following Huntsman’s acquisition of leading North American spray polyurethane foam (SPF) company Icynene-Lapolla in February 2020. Icynene-Lapolla has been integrated with Demilec, also a market leader in SPF applications and which Huntsman acquired in 2018. Together, the businesses are now one of the world’s leading SPF providers and the fifth largest insulation manufacturer. The Huntsman Building Solutions brand name was announced in May and the combined Business now provides customers with an unmatched offering of energy-saving open-cell and closed-cell SPF products, for residential and commercial property owners.
