2. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Open cell spray polyurethane foam insulation being applied in wall cavities. Open cell insulation can be crushed in your hand and has a lower insulation value. Closed cell is rigid to the touch and each air cell is completely sealed. While closed cell foam has a higher R-value, it is more costly to buy. [9] Medium-density closed-cell spray foam ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   For example, a 1-inch layer of closed-cell foam provides about the same insulation factor as 2 inches of open-cell foam. Closed-cell foam is very strong, and structurally reinforces the insulated surface. By contrast, open-cell foam is soft when cured, with little structural strength.

   This is a list of insulation materials used around the world. ... Closed-cell polyurethane spray foam 2.54: 1 0.97–1.14: 5.5–6.5: 38–45 Phenolic spray foam

5. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

   Results indicate that moisture absorption and loss of blowing agent (in closed-cell spray polyurethane foam) were major causes of R-value loss. Fiberglass and extruded polystyrene retained over 97% of their initial R-values while, aerogels and closed-cell polyurethane saw a reduction of 15% and 27.5%, respectively.

7. Polystyrene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene

   Although it is a closed-cell foam, both expanded and extruded polystyrene are not entirely waterproof or vapor proof. [58] In expanded polystyrene there are interstitial gaps between the expanded closed-cell pellets that form an open network of channels between the bonded pellets, and this network of gaps can become filled with liquid water.
