Construction Foams are a “Gap Filling” Polyurethane Foam from a pressurized canister. They generally use a flammable gas as a propellant to get the product out of the canister.
Expanding Polyurethane Foams have the following attributes:
- Expand
- Insulate (when at a specified depth), both Thermally and Acoustic
- Do not damage Polystyrene Foam
- Adhere to many substrates & will not cause damage
- Can be shaped and cut
- Can be over-coated with many sealant types
- Are moisture cured. If there is not sufficient moisture in the air then we need to add moisture.
- Are not UV stable under normal outdoor environments.
- Once the outer skin is broken the product will allow some moisture to penetrate.
- Can be painted.
- Can be built up in layers if you need to fill a void, allowing each layer to cure before applying the next (prevents new foam causing the collapse of the foam structure to “PU Gel” mess in the base of the void)
