Volatile organic compounds ( VOCs )
are gases that are emitted from certain solid or liquid materials. They
can include a variety of chemicals. High VOC emissions from consumer and
commercial products are significant contributing factors in the creation
of air pollution in urban areas and can be harmful to health when
present in large quantities.
The ultra-low-VOC Icynene
spray foam products are based on protocols and
procedures developed by a task group of the American Chemistry Council – Center
for the Polyurethanes Industry (ACC-CPI) - and follow months of extensive
research, testing and third-party evaluation.
Discover more about VOCs and why it's
important to seek low VOC products when choosing building materials for use in
your home in the infographic below.
