For centuries, castor oil has been thought to have healing powers. Today, it has insulating powers. The rapidly renewable resource is taking the place of petroleum-based products in spray foam insulation, making the insulation more environmentally friendly. Leading the way is Demilec, a manufacturer of residential and commercial spray foam insulation. One of Demilec's newest products, SEALECTION Agribalance, contains 10 percent bio-based content, as verified by ICC Evaluation Service® (ICC-ES®) through its Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation™ (SAVE™) Program. By replacing petroleum-based products with castor oil, SEALECTION Agribalance is utilizing a natural, rapidly renewable, non-food resource. Demilec's semi-rigid, open-cell, low-density foam also is water-blown, making it free of CFCs and HCFCs. more>>
