Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation Safety

The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) and the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA), along with industry participants from OSHA, NISOH and CPSC, have undertaken a major initiative to help educate the supply chain on the safe use and handling of of spray polyurethane foam insulation (SPFI).

“As spray polyurethane foam insulation becomes increasingly important in helping this country meet its aggressive energy efficiency goals, it’s become even more critical for the industry to provide timely, easy to understand product stewardship information,” says Neeva-Gayle Candelori, director of CPI. “The website www.spraypolyurethane.com contains downloadable information in user-friendly documents. We’ll keep posting new information to the site as this program grows, and we encourage you to visit the site often for updates.”
