NCFI's InsulStar® high-performance insulation is a nominal 2.0lb/cu. ft. density, closed-cell spray foam (SPF insulation) that can be sprayed in place that adheres to oddly shaped surfaces. InsulStar's R-value is above R 6.4 per inch, compared to fiberglass bat at R 3.5. InsulStar will stop air infiltration and eliminate convective looping which saves you, the building owner, a tremendous amount of energy (i.e., MONEY).

InsulStar is formulated with renewable agricultural resources and uses a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly blowing agent with zero Ozone Depletion Potential. It's because of products like InsulStar that our company was awarded the international 2004 Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award from the EPA for our commitment to developing environmentally friendly SPF insulation systems.

Once applied, InsulStar expands to fill all gaps and cavities to form a barrier that blocks air infiltration, noise pollution, dust, and pollen from entering your building. The low moisture vapor permeance eliminates the need for any additional vapor barriers in most applications which saves you money. Plus, this low permeance works to control moisture vapor movement so there's not accumulation of mold-supporting moisture in your building's walls. InsulStar is blended with an anti-microbial to inhibit mold, mildew, and bacterial growth as well, maximizing comfort and health to all of your building's occupants.

InsulStar also adds structural rigidity to your building's walls. In fact, in a test conducted by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center, a 2x4 wall sprayed with polyurethane foam insulation like InsulStar had two times the racking strength of a wall filled with fiberglass batt insulation. InsulStar sprayed inside on a plywood roof deck increases the wind uplift resistance by over two and a half times that of standard nailing strength.
