2. Biofoam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofoam

   A foam is considered open-celled if at least two of its facets are holes rather than walls. [18] In this case the entirety of the load on the foam is on the cross-beams that make up the edges of the cell. [6] If no more than one of the walls of the cell are holes, the foam is considered closed-celled in nature. [18]

3. Natural oil polyols - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_oil_polyols

   One of the first uses for NOPs (other than castor oil) was to make spray-on polyurethane foam insulation for buildings. [17] NOPs are also finding use in polyurethane slab foam used to make conventional mattresses [8] as well as memory foam mattresses. [18] [19] The characteristics of NOPs can be varied over a very wide range.

5. Hempcrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hempcrete

   The material has low mechanical properties and low thermal conductivity, making it ideal for insulation material. Hempcrete blocks have a low carbon footprint and are effectively carbon sinks. Widespread codes and specifications still need to be developed for the widespread usage of hempcrete, but it shows promise to replace current non-bearing ...

6. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Foam insulation often uses hazardous chemicals with high human toxicity, such as isocyanates, benzene and toluene. The foaming agents no longer use ozone-depleting substances. Personal Protective Equipment is required for all people in the area being sprayed to eliminate exposure to isocyanates which constitute about 50% of the foam raw ...

7. Ecovative Design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecovative_Design

   Ecovative was developed from a university project of founders Eben Bayer and Gavin McIntyre. In their Inventor's Studio course at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute taught by Burt Swersey, Eben and Gavin developed and then patented a method of growing a mushroom-based insulation, initially called Greensulate before founding Ecovative Design in 2007.
