The Icynene Insulation System® is a spray-in-place, soft foam insulation and air barrier system that is 100% water-blown and contains no harmful emissions, like HCFCs, HFAs, HFCs or formaldehyde. Icynene® permanently adheres to the construction material - without shrinking, sagging or settling - while filling and sealing all joints, crevices and gaps. It completely seals any-shaped cavity so there is no compromise between design, functionality and performance. Because Icynene® is a soft foam it moves with the expansion and contraction of steel buildings.
A healthy base for improved indoor air quality, Icynene® works as an insulation and air barrier system to minimize air leakage and the intrusion of outdoor allergens and pollutants. And with mold and moisture problems on the rise, Icynene®’s air-sealing properties hinder moisture transport through the building envelope and the potential for mold growth and mildew.
By achieving superior airtightness, Icynene® allows the reduction of heating and air conditioning equipment size so that building owners can save on equipment costs and up to 50% every month in energy costs. When combined with proper mechanical ventilation, Icynene® helps building occupants gain more control over the quality of the indoor air they breathe.

How do you manage something so universal?
It’s an impossible task, which demands the extraordinary in design solutions. Building science is about first accepting what must be accepted. Instead of waging a constant battle against moisture in the name of energy efficiency, why not employ materials designed to deal with the problem – not create new ones?
That is the idea behind moisture forgiveness. And, it’s the idea behind building paperless by replacing paper facings with advanced fiberglass mats.

Gallina has 40 years of experience as a leading manufacturer of Polycarbonate glazing materials. Based in Italy, it is Gallina's mission to promote and further educate the American Market on the advantages and uses of Polycarbonate glazing products. Our products are used for a variety of applications: skylights, roofing, curtain walls, swimming pool enclosures, office dividers, light fixtures, P.O.P. displays, signage, windows, greenhouses, storm shutters and many more.
Gallina can offer standard Polycarbonate sheets like few other manufacturers, but more importantly we can offer the "complete system". We have sheets with "tongue and groove" connectors that eliminate the need for connection profiles. We can also offer aluminum profiles for the systems; complete with clips, gaskets, screws, everything to make installation "snap" from start to finish.
Our material can offer you the following advantages:
- Very energy efficient
- 200 times stronger and much lighter than glass
- Easy installation - can easily be cold-bent and cut on site
- Less labor costs
- Light weight to reduce the construction cost
- Allows natural light in
- Competitive price
