Open-Cell Polyurethane Foam

R thermal resistance: approximately 2.40-2.60/10 cm.
Application: walls, ceilings, roofs
Low density open-cell foam does not form a vapour barrier because it easily absorbs moisture, therefore the interior of the building must be covered with vapour insulation material.
Open-cell foam makes good thermal insulation even though it is almost twice lower comparing to closed-cell foam. This foam is much more friable, lighter, it expands to a greater extent, therefore it is perfect for filling gaps. The price of sprayed cubic metre is lower, however, its layer must be twice as thick comparing to closed-cell foam in order to obtain the desired thermal resistance.
Open-cell or fibrous thermal insulation materials can lose up to 30% of R value after absorbing only 2% of moisture.
Depending on the field of application, this foam has its own advantages and disadvantages.
