It is a two component liquid system consisting of soy bean oil, recycled plastic bottles and resins. Spray-applied like paint using a Zero Ozone Depletion Substance blowing agent by qualified technicians. The chemical constituents are similar to those found in your home, such as upholstery foam and foam used in mattresses and pillows, although the properties in the foam are different. Spray Foam Insulations fall under two categories; Open Cell (or low density foam) and Closed Cell (or medium density foam).

Open Cell or Low Density Foam cures soft. The irregular bubbles which form during expansion are broken or open. These pockets fill with air, and as such, the R-Value of Open Cell Foam is close to that of dormant air. Open Cell foam conforms to any shape but it is not a code approved Vapor Barrier with a permeability rating of over 400 ng. Closed Cell, or medium density foam cures rigid. The millions of microscopic bubbles formed stay closed and intact. This traps the reaction gasses making the R-Value of Closed Cell greater than 6 per inch. The Closed Cell structure is strong, increasing sheer and racking strength by three hundred percent. Closed Cell is code approved Vapor Barrier with a permeability rating of under 45 ng, stopping air flow through the wall and within the wall cavity.

Permeability, rated in ng, is a measure of the transference of grains of water through a material at a standard vapor pressure and temperature. The Canadian National Building Code gives a Code Approved Vapor Barrier rating to materials with a permeability rating of less than 60-ng. EcoLogic Foam meets all the requirements of the National Building Code as an approved Vapor Barrier.
