AgriThane
AgriThane™ is the most energy-efficient, closed-cell spray foam insulation system available for agricultural applications.
Premium Agricultural SPF System
AgriThane is a 2.0 lb/ft3 density, closed-cell SPF insulation system designed for the agricultural industry. AgriThane helps eliminate air infiltration, allowing for a more consistent and controlled environment for poultry and livestock. It can also be used for insulating liquid storage tanks, freezers, and cold storage facilities for storing perishable items, such as potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and nuts, among other applications.
- Save on energy costs
- Control moisture
- Provide consistent temperature control
- Eliminate air infiltration
- Lower overall operating costs
The Challenge: High Operating Costs
Rising energy costs cut into the bottom line of agricultural business owners and operators. The cost of heating and cooling poultry houses, hog barns, farrowing houses, equine barns, and cold storage facilities is becoming a greater operating expense. Plus, traditional insulations are weak moisture and air barriers and do little to control the interior environment of a building.
The Solution: Seamless Insulation Technology
AgriThane goes on as a liquid, filling the cracks and crevices prior to expansion, adhering to virtually any clean and dry substrate and forming a fully adhered, seamless insulating system. AgriThane offers exceptional insulating performance that can reduce energy costs, considerably. It forms a water barrier, sealing the structure to prevent moisture penetration. It also blocks air movement and has a low water vapor permeance, which controls moisture vapor movement. It can be used to completely seal bottoms or tops of grain storage silos, either concrete or galvanized steel, and livestock or poultry feed storage bins. AgriThane also adds structural rigidity and can help “tighten” older buildings made of metal or wood.
The Result: Enhanced Performance and Savings
A superior agricultural insulation system that increases energy efficiency, reduces operating costs, and helps achieve increased production by stopping loss. By investing in AgriThane you’re getting a highly energy-efficient, high-performance insulation system that also acts as an air barrier, moisture barrier and, in some cases, a structural complement to older metal or wood structures, and additional long-term savings can be achieved.

How Agricultural SPF Works
AgriThane spray foam insulation is a two-part system, formulated from renewable agricultural resources, spray-applied by trained applicators. The liquid quickly fills all gaps, cracks, nooks, and voids, expands to size, and cures in place to form a fully adhered, solid, monolithic insulation envelope that is a highly effective air and moisture barrier. AgriThane is available in natural or black for poultry house blackout conditions.
