High Pressure SPF Insulation In New Home Construction And Retrofit Applications: Worker And Homeowner Health And Safety Information 

This document has been created to provide practical information on potential worker exposure to SPF chemicals and to characterize potential SPF emissions that a home owner may encounter.1 Since 2010, the American Chemistry Council’s Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) has been engaged in a three tiered work plan to expand the spray polyurethane foam (SPF) industry’s product stewardship program. The work plan includes: training, outreach, and research. To address training and outreach, CPI created a website providing details on health and safety practices and a training program housed at www.spraypolyurethane.org. To date, approximately 25,000 individuals have completed the health and safety training.
