The Ultra-Low VOC Advantage of EnviroSeal

EnviroSeal’s Ultra‑Low VOC insulation gives today’s home builders a powerful competitive edge by combining high‑performance air sealing with reassurance about indoor air quality. EnviroSeal insulation delivers exceptionally low and short‑lived airborne emissions during installation, with levels quickly dropping to meet stringent indoor‑air benchmarks. For builders, that means faster re‑entry for trade crews, fewer delays, and a smoother construction schedule. And for homeowners, it means peace of mind and lasting, indoor comfort.

Proven Ultra‑Low Emissions

Engineered with your home’s air quality in mind, EnviroSeal insulation is formulated with intentionally sourced ingredients to support cleaner and more comfortable indoor environments. Its high-performance isn’t just a marketing claim, it’s verified through independent testing. EnviroSeal Insulation meets and exceeds the stringent GREENGUARD Gold standards for indoor air quality, one of the most respected certifications in the industry.

• In independent chamber testing, EnviroSeal products achieved Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) levels nearly ten times lower than the Greenguard Gold limit
• TVOC levels stayed well below every individual chemical threshold listed in the GREENGUARD Gold standard
• EnviroSeal open-cell insulation products have achieved PFAS-Free Certification from Intertek, confirming that
• these products are free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl
• substances (PFAS)
• EnviroSeal OCX Platinum is a USDA Certified BioBased Product reflecting its use of sustainable, renewable materials.

How Airborne Emissions Are Evaluated

We paired controlled laboratory testing with real world home construction monitoring to understand exactly how EnviroSeal performs in the air during installation. In an active construction site, we tracked VOCs, aldehydes, particulates, and more during and after installation. VOC levels from EnviroSeal rise briefly after installation, then quickly drop below GREENGUARD Gold criteria by the four‑hour mark for clean, low‑emission indoor air.

Verified Zero Formaldehyde Impact

Independent testing confirms that EnviroSeal insulation has no measurable impact on formaldehyde levels in the home—meaning the air quality before installation and after installation remains essentially identical.

Why It Matters

• No formaldehyde added during or after installation
• Cleaner, more comfortable indoor environments
• Peace of mind for homeowners
• Product confidence for builders

With EnviroSeal, you get high performance insulation without unwanted chemicals—just a safer, more comfortable home.

MDI and Why it is NOT Something You Need to Worry About

MDI is simply the ingredient that helps spray foam harden into the strong, energy saving insulation that keeps your home comfortable. While a small amount can become airborne only during the actual spraying, the study shows levels stay well below OSHA’s safety limits even in unventilated jobsite conditions. What’s even more reassuring is how quickly it disappears. As soon as the spraying stops, the airborne MDI drops to undetectable levels within 15 minutes, meaning the air clears rapidly and doesn’t linger in your home.

So while installers use protective gear during application, homeowners don’t need to worry. Once cured, EnviroSeal contributes virtually no VOCs to the indoor environment, which makes it a preferred choice for high‑performance homes, schools, and spaces designed for elevated well‑being.
