Icynene - Healthier, Quieter, More Energy Efficient

MD-R-200 Open Cell Medium Density Spray On Insulation Overview

Revolutionizing medium density insulating spray foam and air barrier materials, ICYNENE MD-R-200™ is an ideal choice for those who want a more eco-friendly option for their residential building projects  than closed-cell spray foam. With a higher R-value, compressive strength and tensile strength than what is offered by most open-cell insulating spray foam, Icynene MD-R-200 is guaranteed to perform as specified for the life of the building.
