Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation: EPD coverage at scale
Spray foam turns energy leaks into locked doors. The open question is whether the portfolio behind the nozzle shows up with product-specific EPDs that keep projects on track for LEED v5 era specs. Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation largely does, and that has real commercial weight when owners prefer materials with verified footprints.


Who they are
Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation sits inside Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies and focuses on spray polyurethane foam systems for walls and roofs in residential and commercial builds. The lineup centers on SealTite PRO open‑cell and closed‑cell foams, plus roofing foams marketed historically as PremiSEAL and PremiR+.
What they sell, in plain English
Expect three main product families that specifiers actually buy: open‑cell SPF for interior cavities, closed‑cell SPF in HFO and HFC formulations, and higher‑density roofing SPF. Across those families, Carlisle lists multiple formulations such as High Yield, No Mix, No Trim 21, OCX, XTR, HFO closed‑cell, and branded roofing foams. That puts total individual SKUs comfortably in the dozens.
EPD coverage snapshot
Carlisle published a product‑specific, third‑party verified EPD covering its complete spray foam portfolio. The declaration lists open‑cell products, closed‑cell HFC and HFO variants, and roofing SPF made in Cartersville, Georgia, with a five‑year validity from December 1, 2022 to December 1, 2027 (UL Environment EPD, 2022) (UL Environment EPD, 2022). That single document means architects can specify most of Carlisle’s spray foams with clean paperwork.

How complete is “complete”
Coverage is strong across the core foam systems, including both blowing‑agent chemistries and the roofing grades called out in the EPD text (UL Environment EPD, 2022). Ancillary items like coatings or discontinued accessories sit outside the typical scope of SPF insulation EPDs, which is normal for the category.
Why this matters in specs
Many owners now weigh embodied‑carbon transparency alongside performance. When a foam lacks an EPD, project teams often default to conservative estimates that can push it out of contention. With a current, program‑operator EPD in hand, Carlisle’s foams avoid that penalty and stay credibly comparable on LEED v5‑aligned projects.
Competitive set and EPD context
Spray foam competitors likely to show up on the same bid lists include Huntsman Building Solutions, Johns Manville, BASF, SWD Urethane, and regional specialists. Huntsman provides a product‑specific EPD for its Heatlok HFO line, issued by UL and still within the typical 5‑year window through early 2026, so it is a viable EPD‑backed alternative on closed‑cell work (Huntsman Heatlok HFO EPD, 2021). BASF’s 2025 update for WALLTITE RSB highlights a manufacturer‑specific EPD as part of its sustainability claims, which signals more EPD‑active competition ahead (BASF, 2025).
Commercial read for product teams
If a portfolio is already mostly covered, the fastest wins come from two moves. First, keep the umbrella EPD current and aligned with the most common PCRs your competitors use. Second, identify any new formulations or plant changes that will need an addendum or refresh before the next selling season. The time saved avoiding last‑minute scramble is, frankly, huge.
Where to look on their site
Carlisle’s product pages call out EPD availability on specific formulations like SealTite PRO HFO and Open Cell High Yield, which makes submittal building straightforward (Carlisle product pages, 2025). For broader corporate goals and progress, see the company’s latest sustainability report summary, which frames the building‑envelope focus and targets (Carlisle 2024 Corporate Sustainability Report, 2025).
What we’d watch next
Foam chemistries and codes keep evolving, so keep an eye on HFO transitions, any new low‑VOC open‑cell lines, and refresh cycles for program‑operator rules. Also consider layering HPDs where customers ask for health transparency alongside carbon. Keeping these documents in lockstep is definately the easiest way to stay spec‑ready year round.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Carlisle’s EPD truly cover both open-cell, closed-cell, and roofing spray foams?
Yes. The UL‑certified, product‑specific EPD lists open‑cell products, closed‑cell HFC and HFO variants, and roofing SPF grades with validity from Dec 1, 2022 to Dec 1, 2027 (UL Environment EPD, 2022).
Are there competitor spray foams with EPDs that could be specified instead?
Yes. Huntsman Building Solutions’ Heatlok HFO series has a UL‑program EPD that remains valid through early 2026 (Huntsman Heatlok HFO EPD, 2021). BASF also references a manufacturer‑specific EPD in its 2025 WALLTITE RSB announcement (BASF, 2025).
Roughly how broad is Carlisle’s spray foam SKU count?
Across open‑cell, closed‑cell, and roofing SPF lines, plus variants like High Yield, No Mix, OCX, XTR, and HFO closed‑cell, the range lands in the dozens based on current product pages (Carlisle product pages, 2025).
Where can specifiers find Carlisle’s EPD links quickly?
The portfolio EPD is linked from product pages such as SealTite PRO HFO and Open Cell High Yield, and it is hosted as a UL‑program PDF on carlislesfi.com (Carlisle product pages, 2025; UL Environment EPD, 2022).
