PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
1. PRODUCT NAME
LD-C-50-v2
ICYNENE Classic Max™ is a trademark
for light density, open celled, flexible, 100%
water-blown polyurethane foam insulation
manufactured by Icynene Inc. ICYNENE
Classic Max™ spray formula is a nominal 0.5
lbs/ft3 density, free rise material.
2. MANUFACTURER
ICYNENE Classic Max™ (LD-C-50-v2) is
made on-site from liquid components
manufactured by Icynene Inc. Installation and
on-site manufacturing is supplied by
independent Icynene Licensed Dealers.
3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ICYNENE Classic Max™ is a light density
formulation of spray foam insulation. Icynene
is the pioneer of high yield, 100% water-
blown polyurethane foam technology for air
sealing and insulating buildings.
ICYNENE Classic Max™ insulates and air-
seals in one step for maximum energy
conservation while minimizing the
environmental impact during manufacturing
and construction. Significantly reducing air
leakage means ICYNENE Classic Max™
contributes to a healthier, quieter and more
comfortable indoor environment, while
reducing energy consumption and related
greenhouse gas emissions by as much as
50%.
ICYNENE Classic Max™ is an effective
vapor permeable air barrier material that can
move with the building to maintain the air
barrier characteristic against energy-robbing
air leakage for the life of the building.
Convective air movement inside wall cavities
is virtually eliminated, providing more
uniform temperatures throughout the
building.
The result is superior quality construction,
with higher comfort levels and lower heating
and/or cooling costs. Energy savings will vary
depending on building design, location, etc.
ICYNENE Classic Max™ is applied by
spraying liquid components onto an
open wall, crawl space, ceiling surface or
cathedral ceiling. There it expands
approximately 100:1 in seconds to provide a
flexible foam blanket of millions of tiny air
cells, filling building cavities, cracks and
crevices in the process. It adheres to most
construction materials, sealing out air
infiltration. Excess material is easily trimmed
off, leaving a surface ready for drywall or
other code-compliant finish.
4. TECHNICAL DATA
(Based on Core Samples)
Thermal Performance
Thermal resistance (ASTM C518)
- R/in = R3.7 hr. ft2 ºF/BTU
Average insulation contribution in a full fill
stud wall:
- 2” x 4” = R13
- 2” x 6” = R20
ICYNENE Classic Max™ provides more
effective performance than the equivalent R-
value of air permeable insulation materials.
ICYNENE Classic Max™ is not subject to
loss of R-value due to aging, windy
conditions, settling, convection or air
infiltration; nor will it be prone to traditional
moisture intrusion via air leakage.
Air Permeance/Air Barrier /Air-Seal
ICYNENE Classic Max™ 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.
Air permeability of core foam:
ASTM E283
- 0.009 L/s.m2 @ 75 Pa for 3.5“
Air permeability of a 2” x 6” wood framed
wall assembly:
ASTM E2178
- 0.01 L/ s.m2 @ 75 Pa for 5.5”
All buildings insulated and air-sealed with
ICYNENE Classic Max™ must be designed
to include adequate mechanical ventilation/
outdoor air supply. See ASHRAE Standard 62
– Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air
Quality.
Water Vapor Permeance
ICYNENE Classic Max™ is water vapor
permeable and allows moisture to diffuse
through the insulation and dissipate from the
building envelope.
Water vapor transmission properties:
(ASTM E96 Desiccant Method)
- 11 perms @ 5.5”
In those situations that warrant a vapor
retarder, a supplemental layer of polyethylene
may be used. Alternately, low vapor
permeance paint either directly on the foam or
as a primer for the interior drywall may be
used.
Water Absorption Properties
Water can be forced into the foam under
pressure because it is open celled. Water will
drain by gravity, given favorable drying
potential, and upon drying all chemical and
physical properties are fully restored.
Acoustical Properties
Performance in a 2” x 4” wood stud wall:
STC Sound Transmission Class – 37
Hz. Freq. 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000
ASTM E90 19 30 31 42 38 46
NRC Noise Reduction Coefficient – 70
Hz. Freq. 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000
ASTM C423. .11 .43 .89 .72 .71 .67
Burn Characteristics
ICYNENE Classic Max™ is a combustible
product and is therefore, consumed by flame,
but will not sustain flame upon removal of the
flame source. It leaves a charred foam
residue. It will not melt or drip. ICYNENE
Classic Max™ 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 having jurisdiction.

HEALTH AND SAFETY STATEMENT FOR CERTIFIED ICYNENE SPRAYERS
Icynene products have an excellent health and safety record spanning more than 350,000
insulation 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 24 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 24 hours
after spraying is complete: You 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 24 hours 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 24 hours
after spray is complete.
Independent studies indicate that with 24 hours’ active ventilation after spraying is
completed, Icynene spray foam insulation is safely cured.
HEALTH AND SAFETY STATEMENT FOR HOMEOWNERS
Icynene products have an excellent health and safety record spanning more than 350,000
insulation 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 and at least 50 feet away, while the spray is
applied and for at least 24 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 indicate that with 24 hours’ active ventilation after spraying is
completed, Icynene spray foam insulation is safely cured.
