SPF is a lightweight product that contributes to the infrastructure’s mechanical strength and dimensional stability. Furthermore, SPF adheres to most substrates making it easy to combine for making composite products.
Spray Polyurethane Foam insulation is today applied manually on-site but companies are developing novel and robotised processes to improve productivity in the construction sector (for an example please visit https://www.fomicom.com/en/applications/3d-printing/.)
It can also be applied quickly, which can be a key attribute in some projects.
Its high thermal insulation performance allows for thinner insulation layers to be applied. The thickness properties of SPF insulation materials reduce the surface area used for buildings and the size of the structure, also allowing buildings to be created with more space and daylight.
All of the above points make SPF a cost-effective insulation product in many projects.
In relation to the need to design buildings that can adapt to climate change, it is interesting to highlight that closed-cell spray foam is the FEMA-approved insulation-of-choice for water prone applications in the US (more information can be found here).

This website, dedicated specifically to Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF), aims to promote the unique benefits of SPF application in the construction sector and has the ambition to become the reference in the EU SPF industry by providing guidance to ensure quality and safe SPF application throughout Europe.
