Icynene MD-R-200

A medium density, water-blown foam insulation

Icynene MD-R-200 joins the Icynene family as a 2 lb/ft³ 100% water-blown formula. In addition to having the same energy-saving benefits of Icynene LD-R-50, Icynene MD-R-200 has a number of performance advantages:

• FACT Its high insulation R-value of 5.1 means that it is very effective in resisting heat flow. What else does R-value indicate?
• It has low water vapor permeability, which reduces the amount of moisture that can diffuse through it.
• It is responsibly made using recycled material. Its climate friendly, HFC-free formulation allows for superior energy conservation while minimizing environmental impact during manufacturing.
