Revolutionizing Attic Insulation: Huntsman Building Solutions' Icynene Xpress 55

In an exciting development for the building and construction industry, Huntsman Building Solutions (HBS) has introduced Icynene® Xpress 55, a groundbreaking open cell spray polyurethane foam insulation. Specifically designed for unventilated attics and crawl spaces, this new product raises the bar for fire safety and performance.

Icynene Xpress 55 stands out in the market by eliminating the need for an ignition barrier in attics used solely for utility access, meeting the stringent standards of AC-377 Appendix X. This innovation ensures enhanced safety and efficiency, providing builders and homeowners with peace of mind.

"Icynene Xpress 55 is a testament to our dedication to delivering advanced building solutions," says Doug Brady, Chief Strategy Officer at Huntsman Building Solutions. "Its superior fire resistance and application ease make it a valuable addition to our product lineup."

Notable features of Icynene Xpress 55 include:

  • Compliance with International Building Code fire-test requirements and AC-377 Appendix X
  • Functioning as an air barrier while insulating and sealing in one step
  • Long-term durability without deterioration or decomposition
  • Reduction of external noise and pollutants, promoting a healthier indoor environment
  • Adherence to California CA 01350 Low VOC standards

This low-density spray foam insulation offers an impressive R-value of R-3.7 at 1" and R-13 at 3.5", making it suitable for various climate conditions and building needs.

The Icynene Series, which includes Icynene Xpress 55, reflects Huntsman Building Solutions' legacy of combining innovative products with unparalleled customer support. Clients receive comprehensive services such as building science consultation, technical assistance, and marketing support, ensuring successful project outcomes.
