Equipment designed for applying a specific type of insulation utilizes a chemical process to create a dense, rigid foam with a closed cellular structure. This structure makes the insulation highly resistant to moisture and air infiltration, resulting in a material with a high R-value per inch.
The ability to create an effective air and moisture barrier makes this type of insulation valuable for building construction and renovation. It contributes to improved energy efficiency, reduced heating and cooling costs, and greater structural integrity. Its development emerged from advancements in polymer chemistry and the need for more effective building insulation solutions, responding to demands for greater energy conservation and building durability.
