  2. Cementitious foam insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementitious_foam_insulation

    Cementitious foam insulation is a cement-based thermal and acoustic insulation, [1] with an R-value similar to that of fiberglass. [2] It is installed as a foam with a consistency like shaving cream, [2] or as pre-cast slabs. [3] The current cost is similar to that of polyurethane foams. [2]

  3. Spray foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

    Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...

  4. Urea-formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea-formaldehyde

    UFFI is a foam with similar consistency to shaving cream, that is easily injected or pumped into voids. It is normally made on site using a pump set and hose with a mixing gun to mix the foaming agent, resin, and compressed air. The fully expanded foam is pumped into areas in need of insulation. It becomes firm within minutes, but cures within ...

  5. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

    Open-cell foam is porous, allowing water vapor and liquid water to penetrate the insulation. Closed-cell foam is non-porous, and not moisture-penetrable, thereby effectively forming a semi-permeable vapor barrier. (N.B., vapor barriers are usually required by the Building Codes, regardless of the type of insulation used.

  6. Polyurethane foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane_foam

    An assortment of polyurethane foam products for cushioning and insulation. Polyurethane foam is a solid polymeric foam based on polyurethane chemistry. As a specialist synthetic material with highly diverse applications, polyurethane foams are primarily used for thermal insulation and as a cushioning material in mattresses, upholstered furniture or as seating in vehicles.

  7. Polyisocyanurate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyisocyanurate

    The generalised chemical structure of polyisocyanurate showing the isocyanurate group. The polyols are abbreviated as R-groups.. Polyisocyanurate (/ ˌ p ɒ l ɪ ˌ aɪ s oʊ s aɪ ˈ æ nj ʊər eɪ t /), also referred to as PIR, polyol, or ISO, is a thermoset plastic [1] typically produced as a foam and used as rigid thermal insulation.
