There are advantages to using a product such as BioBased Insulation. BioBased Insulation holds the worldwide rights for the use of AgrolŪ polyols in residential and commercial spray-applied insulation products. The product itself is made up of AgrolŪ, which is a 96% bio-content product, one of the purest bio-polyols on the market. Every single pound of soybean oil in BioBased insulation represents one less pound of petroleum we import into the United States, reducing our dependency on foreign oil companies, while also producing a healthier more eco-friendly product. Another advantage is that soybeans are an annually renewable resource. BioBased Insulation uses soybeans grown right here in the United States, which supports farmers, improves rural life, and strengthens our U.S. economy. BioBased Insulation is designed to seal a home with a thermal envelope, allowing fewer outside air changes, which may allow the use of smaller HVAC systems. As a result, it will lower your initial cost of your heating system and reduce monthly utility bills. There are also health benefits to using BioBased Insulation. The insulation itself releases low VOCs, formaldehyde, or pollutants. Creating a thermal envelope also reduces unwanted air movement between the inside and outside of the home, thus helping to eliminate dust, pollution, pollen infiltration, and assists radon abatement. By helping prevent moisture infiltration and condensation, BioBased also stops mold and mildew growth. BioBased Insulation also obtained a Class 1 fire rating, while exceeding the requirements for flame spread and smoke development. BioBased Insulation will not shrink, settle, or disintegrate for the life of the home.
