	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Icynene Inc.; spray and pour fill insulation. This section is based on the products of Icynene Inc., which is located at: 6747 Campobello Rd. Mississauga, ON Canada L5N 2L7 Toll Free Tel: 800-758-7325 Tel: 905-363-4040 Email: request info Web: www.icynene.com [ Click Here ] for additional information. Icynene Inc. was established in 1986 to manufacture and market The Icynene Insulation System - a light density, open celled, flexible, soft spray polyurethane foam insulation and air barrier material. Ideal for wood- or steel-framed construction, Icynene delivers a perfect fit for any shaped cavity. As a soft expanding foam, Icynene conforms to unusual geometry and provides a continuous, protective barrier that significantly reduces air leakage, minimizes airborne moisture transfer, and improves energy efficiency. To learn more about how Icynene creates environments that are healthier, quieter, more energy efficient than other insulation products, visit the "Architect" area of Icynene.com. Refer to specifications in this section for the following types of Icynene insulation: Low-density spray formulas for open cavity and medium-density spray formulas for open cavity or exterior wall construction. The use of Icynene® insulation can contribute to achieving certain prerequisites and credits offered by the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Program. If a project is not seeking LEED certification, delete those references throughout the text.
