Closed cell foam smells. Paint?
 

Hi,

We had closed cell foam insulation blown in the attic. Now it smells
like plastic on the floor below. It's not too bad a smell, but it is a
foreign smell and lot's of it? What's a good way to block it?

Perhaps paint the insulation? If so, then with what? (It's in a space
we can't sheetrock.)

Thanks in advance!

I would call and ask the contractor who did the job or the
manufacturer of the foam for suggestions.

Paint MIGHT attack the foam and cause grief. Best to ask before doing
anything.........

What produce was used? Open cell closed cell?
How long ago?

It says "closed cell" in the subject line of the message, and also in the
body of the message. I'm guessing she means "closed cell", but I could be
wrong.

What type of foam is it, polyurethane offgasses but it goes away.
Other types dont offgas. How long ago was it done.

drywall......
