What is spray foam made of?

Spray foam is a type of plastic, and it’s formed when two liquid chemicals undergo a chemical reaction. The chemicals are stored in separate hoppers, and when they meet at the tip of a spray gun, the foam is created. The two components of spray foam are known as the A side and the B side, although their technical names may vary by manufacturer.

The A and B sides of spray foam are composed of different materials, so the exact composition will depend on the specific brand used by the company that applies it to your home. Some brands are more environmentally friendly than others, as they use low-GWP blowing agents. You should ask your insulation contractor what brand they are using, and ask for certifications or references from the manufacturer of that product.

The spray foam insulation is applied to the structure using a specialized spray gun, and it expands on contact to fill in cracks and gaps. It then dries in place, creating an air and vapor barrier that is more effective than batt insulation. It is typically more expensive than batt insulation, but it can save you money on your energy costs.
