Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation

Offering Greater Insulation Value

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is used to insulate, air seal, manage moisture and improve structural strength in commercial and residential buildings. The superior insulating performance of closed-cell SPF (ccSPF) is the result of insulating gas in the cells of the foam made possible with a foam blowing agent.

As the leading supplier of foam blowing agents for ccSPF, we offer two liquid blowing agents: Enovate® 245fa and Solstice™ Liquid Blowing Agent (LBA).

Solstice LBA Enovate 245fa

Our new Solstice Liquid Blowing Agent (LBA) provides insulation with lower environmental impact than current materials. With a low global warming potential (GWP) of <5, Solstice LBA is a superior choice for use in spray polyurethane foam insulation.

Solstice LBA for spray foam provides an ideal replacement for HFC-245fa and represents the “next generation” of foam blowing agent technology.

Solstice LBA for spray foam offers:

  • Improved k-factor – 2-4% better than foams made with HFC-245fa
  • Higher solubility in polyol blends
  • Lower vapor pressure in polyol blends

Solstice LBA foam quality vs. HFC-245fa:

  • Smaller cell size
  • Improved dimensional stability
  • Better compressive strength

Enovate 245fa

Enovate® 245fa (HFC-245fa) is a nonflammable, non-ozone-depleting foam blowing agent and is Honeywell’s proven technology for closed-cell spray polyurethane foam. The U.S. EPA has listed Enovate under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) as a suitable replacement in all foam applications.

Honeywell’s Enovate 245fa is a near drop-in replacement for HCFC-141b, HCFC-22 and other foam blowing agents.

Enovate 245fa has been successfully used by many spray foam manufacturers and systems houses as a replacement for HCFC-141b (being phased out per the Montreal Protocol) and other fluorocarbon and non-fluorocarbon foam blowing agents.

Enovate Blowing Agent for spray foam offers:

  • Outstanding thermal insulating and air sealing performance. R-values* for ccSPF are typically >6 (one inch thickness at 75°F)
  • Considered a non-VOC (U.S.)
  • Excellent compatibility with materials and equipment

Enovate foam quality vs. HCFC-141b (or other HCFCs):

  • Better dimensional stability
  • Improved compressive strength
  • Generally equivalent thermal properties

Contact us to learn about the many environmental and performance benefits of converting to Enovate.

*Savings can vary. Check with your SPF seller’s fact sheet for specific R-values when comparing SPF to other insulations.
