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). As the only insulation certified by Envirodesic™ for Maximum Indoor Air Quality™, 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. |
