AMBA Spray Polyurethane Foam: Information Sheet 9
Pacific Urethanes is pleased to share the NEW Information Sheet 9, from the Australian Modern Building Alliance (AMBA). This information sheet examines Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) and its credentials as an ideal insulation for energy efficient houses and commercial buildings.
Polyurethane SPF is used globally to insulate new buildings or retrofit existing ones, with huge popularity in North America, Europe, Japan and many other countries. This durable material does not degrade over time, and comes in two basic forms:
SPF is applied by spraying, which enables it to confirm to the shape it adheres to, thereby, allowing large and complex shapes to be completely insulated efficiently.
When compared to the current products available in the market, such as fiberglass batts,
- SPF creates air tight seals, preventing convection currents and improving energy efficiency
- Offers continuous insulation
- ccSPF provides greater thermal performance (R-value) per mm
Benefits of Continuous Insulation:
