Description
Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) was introduced as an affordable home insulation. Liquid pre- polymer was injected into voids between walls, where it solidifies into foam providing additional insulation to older buildings. Soon it was discovered, that UFFI slowly breaks down producing carcinogenic gas formaldehyde.
Since mid 1980’s the UFFI has been banned from use in Canada. If you are selling or buying an older house, it is important to check the foam insulation for UFFI.
Protect your investment into real estate and test your foam insulation for UFFI. If you have any questions, please email us at your convenience
