What Henry published
Henry has entered the transparency arena with a product‑specific EPD for PremiR+ EVO, a closed‑cell spray polyurethane foam roofing system in Division 07 21 29. The document covers a system‑level SPF insulation used in roof restoration and new low‑slope builds. It first appeared in August 2025. The EC3 record does not state an LCA consultant or developer, and the operator is not shown in that entry at the time of writing.
Why this matters in roofing now
Spray foam on re‑roof and restoration work competes on lifecycle math as much as labor hours. Many public and private owners now expect product‑specific EPDs to avoid conservative defaults in whole‑building LCAs, which can otherwise make a material harder to justify. SPF also sits in a spotlight after the US phased down high‑GWP blowing agents for foams starting January 1, 2025, with a 100‑year GWP cap of 150 for most new foam production (US EPA Technology Transitions final rule, 2024) (US EPA, 2024). An EPD helps show where a formulation stands.
Quick company backdrop
Henry manufactures building envelope solutions for commercial and residential markets, including roof restoration systems, waterproofing, and air and vapor barriers. The brand shows up on retrofit projects where downtime is expensive and on large footprints where energy performance and durability drive the conversation. An SPF roofing system with an EPD fits that playbook.

Competitive snapshot
Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation lists multiple current SPF insulation EPDs published with UL Solutions, covering open‑cell and one‑zero products, so Henry is now aligned with an established peer on transparency coverage. Huntsman Building Solutions publishes EPDs for open‑ and closed‑cell SPFs in the International EPD System, valid into late 2027, which means buyers comparing SPF options will see comparable documentation across brands. In short, Henry has closed a credibility gap and can compete without the hidden handicap of generic assumptions.
What this debut means in specs
- Submittals move faster when a product‑specific EPD is on file, since design teams can plug real numbers into their LCA tools instead of generic penalties.
- Sales teams can pursue low‑carbon RFPs with confidence, rather than sitting out projects that explicitly request EPD‑backed materials.
- Marketing gains a proof point that stands up in procurement reviews, not just on a brochure.
Where to find the document
We could not find Henry hosting the new EPD in their public sustainability or product pages at press time, including the PremiR+ EVO product hub. Visibility matters. Adding an EPD link to the product page and a central sustainability library helps specifiers and contractors grab the right file without email tag. Linking out to a clear overview of program operators also reduces questions from teams new to EPD formats.
What to watch next
- Portfolio coverage. Many roofing portfolios start with the headliner system, then expand to adhesives, primers, and companion coatings. Teams should plan the next two or three EPD candidates now.
- Regional asks. EN 15804 formatting and ECO Platform recognition continue to matter in EU projects, while US buyers are comfortable with several North American operators. Picking the operator should follow the sales map, not the other way around.
- Renewal rhythm. Keep data collection tight so renewals are routine, not a fire drill. A great partner will make the plant data pull feel like it runs itself, freeing R&D and ops to focus on perfromance.
Henry’s first EPD is a strong opening move. It turns a specification hurdle into a talking point and puts the brand shoulder to shoulder with peers already reporting. That is how market share gets protected, then grown.
