Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation with Solstice® LBA

Honeywell

07 21 29 Sprayed Insulation

Architects are increasingly specifying closed-cell spray foam insulation with Solstice® Liquid Blowing Agent to meet design and energy-efficiency challenges because closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (ccSPF) creates a high-performance, all-in-one thermal, air, and moisture barrier, thereby reducing the steps and complexity of using fibreglass batt, mineral wool, cellulose, and other types of insulation. Additionally, ccSPF expands to seal gaps and conforms to almost any shape or space, helping improve structural integrity and provide superior protection in severe weather conditions.

The addition of Solstice LBA helps projects meet environmental and sustainability requirements, earn the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and GreenGuard credits, and has been used to meet Passive House design criteria. Solstice LBA is nonflammable (per ASTM E681, Standard Test Method for Concentration Limits of Flammability of Chemicals [Vapors and Gases] ), non-ozone-depleting, does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOC) (per the United States Environmental Protection Agency [EPA]), and its ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) of 1 is 99.9 per cent lower than hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agents and equal to carbon dioxide.

Check out the information below to learn how closed-cell spray foam with Solstice LBA is being used in a wide range of residential and commercial projects.

Controlling thermal movement in metal panel roofs

The term ‘thermal movement’ refers to a material’s dimensional changes resulting from temperature swings. A material experiencing a rise or decrease of temperature expands or contracts, respectively—this poses an interesting challenge when it comes to designing metal panel roof assemblies.

WRB-AB sheathing streamlines wall assembly and cladding compatibility

Due to the variety of cladding materials available today, and designers’ penchants to combine styles and textures, it is essential to specify building envelope controls, such as gypsum-integrated water-resistive barrier-air barrier (WRB-AB) sheathings, which are compatible with multiple cladding types.

The multiple purposes of air barriers

While improving energy efficiency is the key goal, the other benefits of air barriers, such as helping control the interior environment, providing a durable design, and creating a high-performing building, should all be closely considered in air barrier material selection.
