Air Seal with Confidence: Selecting the Right Polyurethane Spray Foam.


Polyurethane (PU) foam is a widely used technology for upgrading envelope airtightness and thermal performance in existing homes. At the same time, field application of these foams requires additional attention to environmental conditions and inherent industrial hygiene concerns. Furthermore, the proliferation of new product complicate selection of which foam to use in specific applications. In this session, a polyurethane chemist will explain the fundamentals of how these foams work, how to use them safely, and provide practical tips on how to extract maximum value by leveraging the strengths of each various polyurethane foam product types.

After providing a brief review of more well-known PU foam products, new innovations in the PU foam space will be highlighted, including recent advancements in dispense technology, plus a review of new PU foam product categories in the marketplace. The presentation will highlight how these new products differ from those used historically, and practical suggestions how they can be incorporated into existing work processes to improve the speed and quality of air sealing tasks.
