“It’s the only foam insulation on the planet that is 100 percent fireproof,” says Bill Szabo, about AirKrete® Greensulation. “It’s mineral based, containing magnesium oxide cement, a refractory cement, which is the primary ingredient in firebrick.”
  The injection foam requires a cavity to fill – either through holes drilled through the outside walls of an existing building or with mesh on new buildings. But unlike other foams, Szabo says AirKrete is nontoxic and does not contain formaldehyde, asbestos or other volatile chemicals. As a bonus, AirKrete scrubs CO2 out of the air.
  The ultra light cement injection foam was patented in 1987 and recently repatented with advanced application equipment. AirKrete dealers throughout the U.S., in Canada and overseas use the equipment to inject the shaving cream-like foam into walls, ceilings and floors. It’s non-expanding, mold-resistant and a desiccant so rodents and insects don’t like it.
  AirKrete stops air filtration, but is not a structural foam, Szabo says. He describes it as “fossilized soap bubbles.”
  While those bubbles don’t provide strength, they do deaden sound, which is useful for sound studios, nightclubs and residential areas. Its fireproofing quality makes it suitable for meeting firewall codes for businesses and homes.
  AirKrete is also a great option for old farm houses and buildings, Szabo points out. “It fireproofs and insulates.”
  The cost of insulating with AirKrete is more expensive initially than traditional fibrous insulations, but has a payback of energy savings in less than seven years and is more effective, Szabo says.
  In addition to interest in the Northeast and Midwest, customers in the South are recognizing that insulating reduces cooling costs. California customers appreciate AirKrete for its fireproofing.
