The organic blowing agent trapped within the closed cells of the foam, having very low thermal conductivity, makes the Rigid Polyurethane foam an exceptionally efficient insulation material for a given thickness. It provides greater resistance to the transfer of heat (or cold) than any other commercially available insulting material.
