Once in a while, a new construction material or method comes along that not only complies with all code requirements, it's capable of raising the standards. The Icynene Insulation System® has been making a profound change in the perceptions of insulation's role in commercial and residential construction for over a dozen years, and SDI Insulation is proud to be their only Northern California licensed dealer.

Icynene is polyicynene expanding foam insulation, an environmentally safe development in low density, cellular plastics. Chemically, it is in a class of its own. It allows foam to be sprayed without ozone destroying gases (HFA's or HCFC's) or formaldehyde. The micro-cells of this breathing material are filled with air and there are no gas emission hazards. Icynene is the only insulation material certified by the Envirodesic Certification Program for healthier indoor air quality.

Icynene is not just an environmentally responsible insulation system, it insulates and air seals. Building scientists have recognized that air leakage has a greater impact than R-value on the performance of a building. Icynene® is becoming the industry standard for providing maximum building envelope performance. Icynene's pour and spray formulations represent a breakthrough in the science of moisture and thermal management.

Icynene® is the leading 100% water-blown foam insulation that minimizes air leakage for increased energy efficiency (often as high as 50% of conventional costs), creates a healthier indoor environment, reduces airborne sounds and offers greater design freedom. Icynene® maintains its performance with no loss of R-value over time. It does not shrink, sag or settle. Icynene® adheres to most construction materials and is the perfect insulation for walls, attics, ceilings and floors.

At SDI we use The Icynene Spray Foam Insulation System because we recognize a superior product when we experience one! Our sales staff is constantly being trained at seminars and conventions, and awaits the opportunity to explain the numerous benefits of The Icynene Spray Foam Insulation System. Please contact either of our offices, or submit an estimate request online.

Spray Formula
Applied as a liquid, Icynene® expands to 100 times its volume in seconds to fill every crack and crevice while remaining flexible so that the integrity of the building envelope seal remains intact over time. Icynene's spray formula has an R-value of 3.6 per inch. It acts as a complete insulation and air barrier to minimize air leakage and seal the building envelope for optimal airtightness.

Pour Fill Formula
Icynene®'s pour fill variation is an insulation and air barrier that injects the latest building technology into an older building to maximize energy efficiency while still preserving its original architectural details. Icynene® fills the wall cavity completely, starting at the bottom and slowly expanding upwards to 60 times its initial volume. Since Icynene® expands in the direction of least resistance, it will not expand outward and damage the wall. The pour fill formula has an R-value of 4 per inch.
