Abstract
ccSPF is always combined with other functional components of the wall or roof assembly (e.g. water barrier, structural framing, ignition barrier, etc.) to create an effective, durable, and building code-compliant assembly. These components and their effect on building performance are outside the scope of this article. Similarly, open-cell spray polyurethane foam (ocSPF) is used in building envelope assemblies as an air and thermal barrier. It has different performance and technical characteristics than ccSPF and is also not addressed here.
