16. Closed-cell Polyurethane Spray-on Foam Insulation All closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation made today is produced with a non-CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) gas as the foaming agent. PU foam is –water-vapor permeable –remains flexible –fire resistant –provides good air sealing R-3.6 to R-6.5 per inch thickness Soy-based, polyurethane liquid spray-foam also available. spray-foam
