Twenty-five years ago, the Polyisocyanurate ("Polyiso”) industry faced a crisis that threatened its survival. Proposals were in place at the international, federal, state and local levels to ban or heavily tax ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in the making of Polyiso insulation and other products. Without the time to research and manufacture new blowing agents, the Polyiso industry had no future.

To deal with the threat, fierce competitors banded together to save the industry from potentially devastating regulatory action. The six founding members of PIMA — the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association — moved quickly. Armed with extensive third-party studies, PIMA members testified before Congress on the damaging economic and environmental impact of a hasty ban on Polyiso insulation.

The Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA) recently released a new study that analyzes and quantifies the energy and environmental contribution of polyisocyanurate insulation (polyiso) over the past 25 years.
