InsulStar 1.7

InsulStar® 1.7 is a 1.7 lb/ft3 density, closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation ideal for contractors who need extreme yield, high R-value, and dimensional stability.

How InsulStar 1.7 Works

InsulStar 1.7 is applied as a viscous liquid to the wall, ceiling, attic or floors. The liquid reacts, expands, and cures in place, forming a fully adhered, seamless insulating and air-blocking membrane that helps seal walls to prevent air penetration and block outside noise pollution. The results are a quieter home, lower energy costs, and improved indoor air quality. The closed-cell structure of InsulStar® 1.7 blocks air movement and has a low permeance, which controls moisture vapor movement, eliminating the need for an additional vapor retarder. When moisture vapor is controlled, condensation will not occur, thus eliminating the water needed to support mold growth.
