Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
All Hunter products manufactured in the last ___ years are CFC and HCFC-free. In the case of extruded polystyrene, availability may continue until 2010. The Owner, Consultant, Architect, and Contractor have a choice between stratospheric ozone depletion and its protection.
Zero Global Warming Potential (GWP)
The global warming potential of Hunter products is negligible and considered zero by the U.S. EPA.
Recycled Content
Hunter H-Shield polyisocyanurate roof insulation, either with Hunter labels or on a private label basis has recovered or recycled content of the foam core of 9% minimum. The recovered/recycled content of the H-Shield insulation’s core stems soley from the polyol component of the formulation. The polyol component, along with the isocyanurate and blowing agents, are the major ingredients of the foam core. Additionally, the facer contains 75% recycled cellulose.
Currently there is not an ASTM standard for type of felt. There is however a classification for felt/facer type used in manufacturing polyisocyanurate. Hunter Panels manufactures using a Type 1 facer (foil), Type 2, Class 1 (standard black), Type 2 and Class 2 (latex or polymer coated glass). H-Shield by Hunter Panels meets the minimum percentage of recycled content as established by the United States EPA guidelines under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1978 ( Public Law 94-580, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 6901 et seq.).
Waste Reduction
Waste produced during the manufacturing process of H-Shield can be diverted from the waste stream by using it in packaging and in the manufacture of other Hunter insulation products.
