Icynene® can eliminate the conditions that cause mold growth in wall cavities because it prohibits the movement of air into the cavity. If air can not exfiltrate or infiltrate the wall cavity, then neither can dust, mold spores or moisture vapor. With Icynene® humid air never has the opportunity to come into contact with the vapor barrier's cool surface, so condensation is eliminated. Also, Icynene® is not a food source for mold, and with dust and moisture being sealed out of the wall cavity, mold will have a hard time finding something to grow on. Below are diagrams that illustrate how Icynene® performs inside your wall cavities. Click the thumbnails to view the file in Adobe Acrobat PDF® format.
