Its manufacturer says that BioBase “provides a healthier indoor environment, with no harmful emissions that can cause allergic reactions. It can eliminate building warp, caulking and taping, and the labor-intensive work associated with air-tightness detailing, required when insulating with conventional products.”
The company says that BioBase is not affected by moisture, won’t settle, is completely resistant to mold and mildew and can’t be used by rodents and insects as food or a nesting material. Its R-values do not deteriorate over time.
BioBase offers better overall thermal performance at nearly the same net cost as other products, BioBased Systems says.
The award was presented by the National Research Center.
