The Health Product Declaration®
The HPD Open Standard provides a consistent, and transparent format to accurately disclose the material contents and associated hazard classifications for a building product.
How it works
Material ingredients are screened and categorized according to the hazards that international governmental bodies and toxicology experts have associated with them, based on two listings:
- Authoritative lists maintained or recognized by government bodies
- Screening lists, which include chemicals that government bodies determined need further scrutiny, as well as chemical lists not recognized by any government body.
What's in this product and why
Ure-K is a spray-applied 15-minute Thermal Barrier approved to go over exposed applications of polyurethane foam in existing buildings and new construction projects as a combination system to meet mandatory code requirements. Ure-K is not foam insulation.
Ure-K is made from recycled paper treated with natural flame retardants resulting in an installed product with an exposed finish that also provides acoustic and thermal benefits. Ure-K has a Natural Texture similar to K-13 and is available in five standard colors along with custom colors.
How we're making it healthier
Ure-K is UL GREENGUARD Gold certified and compliant with LEED v4: Low-Emitting Materials, CDHP/ California Section 01350, SCAQMD Rule 1168, and CHPS- Acoustical Ceiling. Additionally, Ure-K's thermal and acoustical performance may contribute to sustainable credit categories for green-building initiatives.
Ure-K does not contain silica dust, asbestos, mineral or glass fibers, or PCB’s.
