BioBased Insulation® leads the building performance revolution

As an architect, you are constantly searching for products that increase design flexibility and minimize building liabilities. Products from BioBased Insulation® can help you address those challenges. BioBased Insulation® is working towards increasing the sustainability of spray foam insulation. One way we do that is by replacing a portion of the petroleum content with bio-based content. Our bio-based products contain 3-15% bio-content in the finished foam based on third-party testing. We also work to incorporate alternative ingredients in our products to make them more sustainable, such as using water as a blowing agent.

Open Cell Insulations
BioBased 501w® is a Class I, semi-rigid, open celled air barrier that is spray applied using water as the blowing agent. It performs well in a variety of applications, has low VOCs in the finished foam and no CFCs or HCFCs. It has a density of 0.5 lb, an R-value of 13 at 3.5 inches and is ICC-rated. BioBased 501w® was voted "Outstanding Green Product of the Year 2003" at NAHB's National Green Building Conference.

BioBased® 502 is our second-generation open celled air barrier with a 0.5 lb density. It also is spray applied using water as the blowing agent. It has low VOCs in the finished foam and no CFCs or HCFCs. It has an R-value of 13 at 3.5 inches and incorporates Agrol®, our bio-based polyol.

Closed Cell Insulation
2001NB is a non-bio-based, closed cell air barrier that is spray applied using a 245fa blowing agent. The product has a density of 2.0 lbs, low VOCs and no CFCs or HCFCs. 2001NB is Class I fire rated with an R-Value of 18 at 3 inches.

Closed Cell Sealants
BioBased Insulation® also offers two closed cell sealants that can be used in a variety of industrial and agricultural applications including sealing livestock houses; soil and rock stabilization; pipeline trench breaker; pad, pillow and poly backfill; crack and joint sealing and post and pole setting. These products are available in 3 lb and 6 lb formulations.

BioBased Insulation® is committed to delivering the product evaluation, testing and engineering necessary to satisfy the most discriminating architect or code official. The varying climate regions in the United States and abroad require system design approaches that address extreme climate challenges. Non-vented roof system design, thermal performance comparisons, vapor barrier elimination and fire issues are successful building design paths unique to the new generation of microcellular, semi-open celled, air barrier insulation systems.
