Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance Publishes Updates to ISO-Compliant LCA, EPD for SPF Insulation, Roofing
FAIRFAX, Va. — The Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance has announced completion of a five-year update to its ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for three generic Spray Polyurethane Foam product formulations that include open-cell, closed-cell and roofing foams.
Completed in conjunction with thinkstep (formerly PE International), the 2018 updates also include a fourth product type: low-pressure two-component closed-cell insulation and sealant foams. Additionally, two, rather than one, separate EPDs have been published, aligning with the Spray Polyurethane Foam industry’s move toward the integration of blowing agents with low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
