Huntsman Building Solutions Heatlok® Soya HP Enhances Performance For Contractors

Boisbriand, QC – (September 12, 2023) Huntsman Building Solutions (HBS) has worked closely with spray foam contractors to develop and offer them a new closed-cell spray foam solution, Heatlok® Soya HP, which is an HFO product that provides an excellent R-value with an LTTR value at 50mm of 2.06 RSI (R 11.68). Recognized for its ease of adhesion and superior insulation value, Heatlok® Soya HP leverages Honeywell’s latest Solstice® Liquid Blowing Agent technology. This new hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blowing agent is the most environmentally conscious produced to date, with zero-ozone depletion potential (ODP), and a global warming potential (GWP) less than 1.

“We worked closely with our applicators through several demos, in an effort to deliver a solution that has greater functionality and performance for their needs, and for their customers’ comfort,” said Jean-Francois Lupien, B.Sc. Global Director, Product Management from Huntsman Building Solutions. “The benefit of doing the demos together was to understand their pain points and deliver on a spray foam product that they are accustomed to using, but that provides an upgrade in the application process and the insulation value.”

Made in Canada, this spray foam solution will help contractors gain a future business edge, by providing them with the following benefits:

• An all-in-one product: insulation, air barrier, vapour barrier, & rain screen
• Up to 8 inches can be sprayed in 1 day
• High compressive strength 37psi
• A solution that has total of 20% recycled plastic & renewable soya oil
• Low VOC emission
• GreenGuard Gold Certification
• Resistance to fungus, mould & flood damage
• Compatibility with most building products & usage in a variety of applications
• A product that flawlessly seals the junction & joints of different materials
• Reduced need for air and/or vapour barrier membranes
• Full training and technical support; no third-party re-certification required

“We value the relationship that we have with contractors, so by joining forces we gained their insights as far as performance and ease of the application process,” said David Cuddihee, Product Manager, Open Cell & Residential from Huntsman Building Solutions. “When we cooperate with our direct customers, we can tweak the solution to fit their exact needs and these little changes lead to big gains in value for them.”
