The Advantages of Using BioBased Insulation

BioBased® Insulation has significant advantages over conventional insulation materials. It permanently and completely fills and seals all voids.

BioBased® Insulation offers better overall thermal performance at nearly the same net cost as other products.  Since conventional insulation materials can settle, they cannot seal from stud to stud, around outlets, or on horizontal surfaces.  In addition, conventional insulation can lose its insulation value if water or moisture invade the wall cavity.

BioBased® Insulation is not affected by time or moisture, it will not settle, it does not support mold growth, and it offers no food source or nesting materials for rodents and insects.

The BioBased® Insulation System provides superior performance:

• Reduced HVAC loading
• Heating and cooling costs decreased
• Seals and insulates in one application
• Provides a draft free environment for improved indoor air quality
• Reduces airborne dust and fibers
• Reduces allergic reactions
• Reduces indoor and outdoor acoustical pollution
• R-values do not deteriorate over time
• Does not settle or compact in cavities

The Benefits of BioBased® Insulation Fact Sheet

BioBased® Insulation creates an air barrier that seals a structure’s thermal envelope, enabling it to be:

1) Healthy
BioBased® Insulation creates a continuous air barrier around your structure which helps blocks harmful outside irritants such as mold, pollen, or other allergens and improves indoor air quality.

2) Comfortable
When BioBased® Insulation is installed, it quickly expands to fill every space and helps reduce air movement. By sealing the thermal envelope, conditioned air stays inside, and undesirable air is kept outside. It allows you to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the structure, reducing drafts and temperature differences from room-to-room and reducing outdoor, airborne noise pollution.

3) Energy Efficient
Since BioBased® Insulation creates an air tight seal, you use less energy to heat and cool your home or building. When paired with other responsible building materials, you can save up to 50% on your monthly heating and cooling bills.

4) Environmentally Responsible
By making your structure more energy efficient, you are able to lessen your carbon footprint - but it doesn’t stop there. Since BioBased® Insulation is made from soy bean oil, an annually renewable resource, the product also supports American farmers, and it helps reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Our products also are water blown, instead of chemical blown, which make them better for the environment.

5) Durable
BioBased® Insulation is an inert substance that does not sag or breakdown over time.
It will maintain its air seal for the life of your structure. Also, it does not promote mold growth nor provide a food source for insects or rodents.
