UFFI Detection Test. Order online

$75.00$150.00

You are purchasing a laboratory analysis—not a DIY kit. You will need to collect UFFI samples from various rooms in your home and either deliver or ship them to our laboratory at: LCS Laboratory Inc., 700 Collip Circle, Unit 218, London, Ontario, N6G 4X8, Canada.

This test identifies the presence of UFFI insulation.

Your sample will be analysed using a modified version of NIOSH Method 3500. The test will confirm whether the material is UFFI or not. A detailed report will be sent to you by email.

Please ensure you review the Sampling and Shipping tabs on this page. To place your order, select the number of samples you wish to test and choose your preferred turnaround time.

Description

Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) was introduced as an affordable home insulation solution. A liquid pre-polymer was injected into wall cavities, where it solidified into foam, providing additional insulation for older buildings. However, it was later discovered that UFFI gradually breaks down, releasing formaldehyde gas—a known carcinogen.

Since the mid-1980s, the use of UFFI has been banned in Canada. If you are buying or selling an older home, it is important to check whether the insulation contains UFFI.

Protect your real estate investment—test your foam insulation for UFFI.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at your convenience.


Collect approximately one tablespoon of foam and place it in a Ziploc bag. Seal the bag and label it clearly with a permanent marker—for example: “Foam from kitchen wall” or “Foam from attic.”
If you wish to test more than one sample, place each sample in a separate, labelled bag. Count the total number of samples and select the corresponding number of tests when placing your order.

  1. Print the payment receipt for your order.
