Up to 98% bio carbon content.

A craddle to gate calculation of our products suggests that our CO2 footprint is from -1,2 up to 1.36 kgCO2/kg
 
In comparison 1kg of fossil based polyol, releases up to 6kg of CO2 into the atmosphere.

We use vegetable oils which are reducing the CO2 footprint.

Our Bio polyol OH values vary from 65 to 650 mgKOH/g.

It largely depends on the product formulation components. Based on customer feedback, the average amount in the polyol component ranges from 20% to 90%.
It is worth noting that you can achieve much better results with a new formulation developed with our Bio polyols from the beginning rather than using them as a drop-in replacement.

The bio polyols with higher OH value are used for rigid PU products like spray foam, steel sandwich panels, block foam, etc, and the ones with a lower OH value are used for flexible PU and viscoelastic PU foam products.

Our production capacity is approx 3000 p.a.

Our bio polyols are amber yellow, light brown, and dark brown colored. They do not have strong smells. Depending on the amount added they can have a minor effect on the end foam color.

Our bio polyols are in similar price ranges as fossil-based polyols and significantly lower than other bio-based polyols.

Our bio polyols have a functionality range of 2 to 3.5.

Our products are in full compliance with REACH regulation.

Indefinitely. As an inert, thermoset plastic, foam insulation will maintain its properties throughout the life of the building.

We have products that range from 3% bio-content in the finished foam (based on ASTM D6866) to 15% in the finished foam. The tested bio-content of each of our products is listed on its Technical Data Sheet. All of those are available here.

Yes. All of our soy oils come from soybean processors who purchase soybeans on the open market. All soybeans imported from the United States and Brazil are genetically modified (GM) for herbicide resistance.
 
The main benefits of using GM soybeans are that they are readily available and affordable, because they cost farmers less to grow. There are environmental benefits also. Farmers of GM soybeans use conservation tillage practices that help to conserve fuel, reduce less carbon dioxide emissions and cause less soil erosion than traditional farming methods.

Foam insulation is effective in air sealing and insulating because it is applied as a liquid and expands multiple times its original size in seconds. As it expands, it conforms and fills cavities and voids to create a sealed thermal envelope. Foam insulation creates a highly-effective seal against air infiltration, the number one source of energy loss in a structure. This insulation adheres to any clean, dry surface and will not sag or settle.

While the initial cost of installing Foam insulation may be higher than traditional insulation, building owners are able to save enough money each month on their utility bills that they can make up the difference. When paired with other responsible building components, Foam insulation can reduce monthly heating and cooling bills by up to 50% when compared with traditionally insulated and constructed structures.
 
Because Foam insulation creates a continuous, sealed thermal envelope around your home or structure, in many cases with new construction or with large-scale retrofit, you also can save additional money by reducing the required size of the HVAC (heating and air conditioning) unit. You might also be able to reduce or eliminate the use of other building materials when you use foam such as soffit vents, ridge vents, attic ventilation fans, radiant barriers or vapor retarders.

Foam insulation provides a healthier, draft-free indoor environment. Because it expands to fill cavities and voids upon installation, it seals the thermal envelope and will not sag or settle over time.
 
This sealed envelope gives the HVAC system and your ventilation system full control over the amount and filtration of fresh air coming into the structure. This helps to maintain good indoor air quality by blocking and then filtering harmful outside irritants such as mold, pollen or other allergens.

During application, applicators and other persons within a close proximity to the spray operation could be exposed to fumes and spills beyond OSHA and NIOSH requirements. Precautions should be made for applicators, helpers and building occupants to be protected from these fumes, mists and spills. This can be done by following simple safety guidelines.
 
Typically for the applicator this would include respirator, solvent-resistant gloves and protective clothing. The zone where protective equipment is required can vary depending on the amount of open space and free ventilation. For example on a roof top, outside of a few feet the fumes dissipate rapidly, while in an enclosed room, fumes and mists can build. Each job should be assessed and a safety plan developed specific to the application by the installer. Your foam insulation approved contractor is trained in proper safety producedures.

In most instances spray foam is applied in a new construction project, where ventilation is plentiful. Other industries should wait a minimum of 24 hours before they re-enter the job site after spray polyurethane has been installed.
 
In a retrofit or remodel situation, reoccupancy time is dependent on a number of factors, including SPF formulation, the amount of foam applied per volume of space, temperature, humidity, the degree of ventilation and other variables. In addition to the release of airborne SPF chemicals during spray application, certain components can be liberated from some newly-installed SPF products for a short period of time following installation. Always check with your contractor, because they will be familiar with your specific situation. But, as a rule of thumb we recommend 24-48 house before occupants re-enter the building.

All foam insulation products are Class I fire rated. They will char if exposed to a flame but will not sustain a flame.
 
Polyurethane foams are combustible materials, which means that they will burn in the presence of a flame. Flame retardants are added to the product to help ensure that they meet or exceed the applicable building code requirements for this type of product. Always refer to the fire testing for the applicable product and make sure it meets the specific requirements of your project.
