• Icynene ProSeal™ must be covered with ½” of gypsum board,
DC-315 intumescent paint coating @ 24 wet mils or approved
thermal barrier.
• Icynene ProSeal™ is subject to all applicable National/
State and County building codes regarding fire prevention.
Requirements for Thermal Barrier and Ignition Barrier
coverings must be met as per the applicable building code as
required by the authority having jurisdiction.
• Icynene ProSeal™ pper ACC377 Appendix X test reporting
is approved for use in limited access attics and crawl spaces
without an ignition barrier or an intumescent paint coating.
AIR BARRIER/ MECHANICAL VENTILATION
• Icynene ProSeal™ fills any shaped cavity, and adheres to most
construction materials, creating assemblies with very low air
permeance.
• Additional interior or exterior air infiltration protection is subject
to applicable codes.
• All buildings insulated and air sealed with Icynene ProSeal™
must be designed to include adequate mechanical ventilation/
outdoor air supply for optimum IAQ (Indoor Air Quality).
• For mechanical ventilation see ASHRAE Standard 62 –
Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality or any other
acceptable good engineering practice.

Technical Product Data
The Evolution of Insulation
WATER VAPOR PERMEANCE & ABSORPTION
• Icynene ProSeal™ is a Class II vapor retarder, at 1½”
thickness, which reduces the amount of moisture that can
diffuse through the insulation.
• Icynene ProSeal™ meets FEMA criteria for resisting water
absorption.
• It is resistant to moisture allowing it to be used below the
base flooding elevation in flood prone areas.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH
• Icynene ProSeal™ is California Department of Public Health
EHLB v1.1-2010 Emissions Specification Section 01350
compliant for offices and classrooms.
INSTALLATION
• Icynene ProSeal™ is installed by a network of Licensed
Dealers, trained in its installation.
• Maximum thickness per pass is 3 inches for first pass only,
then 2 inches maximum for additional passes. Wait until first
layer cools before applying a second layer/lift over the initial
layer/lift.
• This product should not be installed within (3”) of heat emitting
devices, (or as specified by Code) where the temperature is in
excess of 180°F, in accordance with applicable codes.
• It can be installed in hot, humid or freezing conditions.
Minimum substrate temperature for application is 22°F (-6ºC).
• Surface preparation is generally not necessary.
• Within seconds, the foaming process is complete.

PRODUCT CERTIFIED
FOR LOW CHEMICAL
EMISSIONS
COMMITTED TO THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF SPRAY
FOAM CHEMISTRY FOR OVER 25 YEARS.
Icynene spray foam insulation products have an excellent health and safety
record spanning more than 425,000 projects over more than 25 years.
Nonetheless, safe handling practices during and immediately following
installation are required to eliminate the possibility of health effects from
exposure to isocyanates. Asthma, other lung problems, and irritation of the
nose and throat can result from inhalation of isocyanates. Direct contact
with the skin and eyes can result in irritation. Different individuals will react
differently to the same exposures; some will be more sensitive than others.
Everyone (other than Icynene-certified spray technicians) must vacate
the job site, remaining completely out of the building or at least 50 feet
away, while the spray is applied and for at least 2 hours* after spraying
is completed to allow active ventilation of the job site and to ensure the
foam chemicals are completely cured. No exceptions.
Independent studies and third party toxicologist verification indicates that
when the prescribed ventilation rates and periods are followed, Icynene
spray foam insulation is safely cured.
* For installations of low VOC products (Icynene Classic Max and Icynene
ProSeal) in the United States only, re-occupancy of the job site is permitted
after 2 hours provided that the rate of air exchange during spraying and for
2 hours thereafter equals or exceeds 40 Air Changes per Hour (ACH).

Icynene spray foam insulation products have an excellent health and
safety record spanning more than 425,000 projects over more than 25
years. Nonetheless, safe handling practices during and immediately
following installation are required to eliminate the possibility of health
effects from exposure to isocyanates. Asthma, other lung problems, and
irritation of the nose and throat can result from inhalation of isocyanates.
Direct contact with the skin and eyes can result in irritation. Different
individuals will react differently to the same exposures; some will be
more sensitive than others. Severe asthma attacks have been reported
in some sensitized workers exposed repeatedly to isocyanates while not
wearing proper protective equipment. Some reports indicate a reaction
and sensitization can occur following a single, sustained occupational
exposure to isocyanates without proper protective equipment above
the OSHA permissible exposure limit. But sensitization might not occur
immediately in some individuals. Consistent use of personal proper
protective equipment to prevent exposure during spraying and within the
1 hour**-period after spraying is completed is critical to eliminating the
health hazard. Once sensitization has occurred, a worker might not be
able work safely with spray foam insulation again.
Sprayers, sprayer helpers, and anyone else present during spraying or
within 1 hour** after spraying is complete: You must ventilate at 40ACH
and must wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all times
during spray, including full-body-coverage, chemical-protective clothing
and a NIOSH-certified respirator with fresh air supply. While spraying
and for 1 hour** after spraying is completed, no one must be allowed
within 50 feet of the sprayed foam without wearing this type of PPE at
all times. Adequate active, negative pressure ventilation (exhaust fans)
of the job site must be in place during spray and for 2 hours** after
spray is complete to allow for re-occupancy.
For installations of low VOC products Icynene Classic Max and Icynene
ProSeal in the United States only, re-entry of the job site is permitted
after 1 hour** and re-occupancy of the job site is permitted after 2
hours** provided that ventilation rates are followed as recommended on
this page.
Independent studies and third party toxicologist verification indicates
that when the prescribed ventilation rates and periods are followed,
Icynene spray foam insulation is safely cured.
