Huntsman Corporation has announced its agreement to acquire Icynene-Lapolla, a leading North American manufacturer and distributor of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation systems for residential and commercial applications, from an affiliate of FFL Partners, LLC.
Icynene-Lapolla has annual revenues of approximately $230 million with two manufacturing facilities located in Houston, Texas and Mississauga, Ontario. Under terms of the agreement, Huntsman will pay $350 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction funded from available liquidity. Based on full year 2019 adjusted EBITDA estimates, the purchase price represents an adjusted EBITDA multiple of approximately 10 times, or approximately 7 times adjusted EBITDA pro forma for synergies. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2020.

It has been an active summer for members of SPFA’s Building Envelope Committee and Roofing Committee.
As a result of the efforts of several volunteers, we are pleased to announce the publication of two new TechTips and a new TechDoc from the Building Envelope Committee. The new TechTips provide installation guidance in a short format on improving adhesion of SPF to engineered wood products, as well as guidance on the installation of SPF over wires and piping to reduce exothermic heat damage. The new TechDoc SPFA-153, “Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation for Below Slab Applications” provides guidance for installation of closed-cell SPF below concrete slabs. Sub-slab insulation, installed before the concrete is poured, is an important application as building codes are increasing the requirements for insulation below sub-grade concrete slabs – especially in colder climates.
The Roofing Committee has been busy as well. In the 1990’s, SPFA developed the first SPF Roofing Brochure, AY-130. This document was last published in 1997. Recognizing the document needed to be updated, it was not included during the 2015 re-formatting of all of our TechDocs and briefly discontinued. After significant work with several Roofing Committee volunteers (Bruce Schenke, Jason Hoerter and Luke Nolan), and with support from our marketing consultant and graphic designer, we are pleased to publish the significantly updated SPFA-130 Roofing Brochure.
All of these TechTips and TechDocs are available for free download from the SPFA website here:

· TechDocs
Should you have any questions or comments about these new documents, or if you would like to participate in the document development and update process, contact any of our technical committee chairs or the SPFA Technical Director, Rick Duncan, rickduncan@sprayfoam.org.

Beware of pirates and poachers!
SPFA contracts for blocks of hotel rooms at discounted rates for the benefit of our attendees. Pirates and poachers not only jeopardize the show’s ability to meet its obligations, but also place attendees in danger of increased fees, credit card theft and phony reservations, resulting in no hotel room at all!
PIRATE: A fictitious business, often with a name like “Convention Housing Services.” A pirate will contact faculty, exhibitors or potential attendees. The pirate claims to be working with the show and will pressure you to reserve and pay for a hotel room immediately due to low inventory. They charge your credit card and also collect the information for future use but no hotel rooms are reserved.
POACHER: Hotel poachers, also known as third-party room-block marketing firms, often present themselves as either the official housing agency for a conference or authorized by it to book hotel reservations. A poacher offers hotel rooms outside of the show’s contracted block.
REMEMBER: SPFA WILL NOT TELEPHONE INDIVIDUALS REGARDING THE PURCHASE OF HOTEL RESERVATIONS.
PIRATES and POACHERS often misrepresent themselves by illegally using our logo.
When seeking SPFA information or conducting SPFA-related transactions online, remember that our URL is www.sprayfoam.org
