Airmétic Soya Spray Polyurethane: A High-Performance Closed-Cell Insulation
Airmétic Soya closed-cell spray polyurethane is manufactured by Huntsman Building Solutions, a Canadian leader in insulation systems. This product combines three functions in a single application: thermal insulation, air barrier, and vapour barrier. It adheres directly to wood, concrete, and metal surfaces, creating a continuous envelope with no gaps.
Airmétic Soya exceeds the requirements of the CAN/ULC S705.1 standard, the strictest in Canada for medium-density spray polyurethane foams. Its application is reserved exclusively for Caliber-accredited installers, in accordance with the CAN/ULC S705.2 standard.
Technical Properties
- Closed-cell foam offering an insulating value of R-5 to R-6 per inch
- Acts as a built-in air barrier and vapour barrier, eliminating the need for additional membranes
- Prevents water from penetrating the building’s walls
- Mould-resistant: no nutrient source for bacteria in the foam
- Eliminates radon in new construction by sealing infiltration points at the foundation level
- Complies with the National Building Code (NBC)
Certifications and Compliance
Airmétic Soya holds the following certifications:
Zero ODS: no ozone-depleting substances
GREENGUARD Gold: low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
Compatible with the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program
Tested to the CAN/ULC S705.1-15 and CAN/ULC S705.1-18 standards
4th-generation hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blowing agent, with a global warming potential of less than 1
The product’s environmental side is real: Airmétic Soya is made from renewable soya oil and 20% recycled plastic. But its main strength remains its thermal performance and its sealing.
Solutions Tailored to Every Type of Project
Residential Projects
Whether in new construction or renovation, Airmétic Soya is applied to:
- Foundation walls and under the slab
- Rim joists and exterior walls
- Cathedral ceilings and attics
In the basement, the foam creates a sealed shell from the slab to the ground floor, eliminating condensation and mould. In renovation, it adheres to irregular surfaces such as stone walls, where rigid insulation doesn’t do the job.
Multi-Unit Buildings and Condominiums
Noise between units, fire separation requirements, independent comfort in each unit: Airmétic Soya addresses all three. Combined with our DC-315 fireproofing service, spray polyurethane meets the fire-resistance requirements of the Building Code.
Commercial and Institutional Projects
Offices, schools, care facilities: spray polyurethane reduces energy costs while ensuring the envelope is completely sealed. GREENGUARD Gold certification guarantees a healthy indoor environment for occupants.
Industrial Projects
Warehouses, plants, tanks: Airmétic Soya adheres to steel, concrete, and wood surfaces on a large scale. The product is water-resistant: it can stay in place after a flood and regain all its properties once dry.
What Sets Airmétic Soya Apart From Other Insulation Products
