BASF Spray Foam Insulation: Build for Enduring Performance
Choose insulation that delivers quality, energy efficiency, and long-term value. BASF spray polyurethane foam solutions are engineered to meet today’s demands while ensuring durable, high-performance results for the future.
An all-in-one building envelope solution
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) is a multi-functional material that insulates buildings and prevents energy loss by performing as an air barrier. When applied, spray foam’s unique properties allows it to expand many times its original size to create a continuous layer that fills gaps and hard-to-reach areas, ensuring superior air-sealing throughout the entire building envelope.
Because applying spray foam requires specialized equipment and expertise, installation must only be performed by professionally trained spray foam contractors.
The Benefits of Spray Foam
- Comfort: Reduces drafts and air leakage, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures year-round.
- Healthier Indoor Air: A tighter building envelope helps limit dust, pollen, and moisture intrusion.
- Energy Efficiency: Lower heat loss and gain mean less energy use—and long-term savings.
- Versatility: Can be used in residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and agricultural construction.
Closed-cell vs Open Cell Spray Foam: What’s the Difference?
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is available in two main types – closed-cell and open-cell. Each spray foam type offers distinct benefits.
WALLTITE® (Closed-Cell SPF)
WALLTITE® is a closed-cell, rigid, medium-density polyurethane insulation designed to deliver exceptional energy efficiency – the ideal choice for Canada’s challenging climates.
- Forms a continuous air and vapour barrier, managing air and moisture control
- Delivers exceptional energy efficiency
- Superior long-term thermal resistance (LTTR) compared to traditional insulation types
ENERTITE® (Open-Cell SPF)
ENERTITE® is an open-cell, low-density polyurethane insulation ideal for interior applications.
- Expands significantly when applied to fill gaps
- Effective air sealing qualities; permeable to vapour and moisture
- Provides excellent sound absorption
In Canada, the R-value for closed-cell spray foam insulation follows the long term thermal resistance (LTTR) test method. The higher the value, the greater the insulating ability.
