Industrial Spray Foam Insulation Products

Open-cell industrial spray foam insulation has an R-value range from R-3.5 to R-3.6 per inch. This means that the filling of a 2 by 4-inch cavity reads in at about R-13. The thickness of the spray foam has a direct correlation to the R-value, which increases as the foam is applied thicker.

After application, spray foam needs to be cured. Though it takes less than an hour for it to cure enough to become tack-free, spray foam requires 8 to 24 hours to fully cure. The cure-time depends on the site conditions. There are some things you can do to speed up the curing process such as spraying a mist of water on the spray foam between layers.

While other forms of insulation come in specific shapes and sizes, spray foam expands to fill each and every unique crevice. Once applied, the foam will quickly expand to fill the space in which it is applied. This makes it the perfect choice for uniquely shaped areas or hard to reach spaces.

Once applied to an area or opening, spray foam expands for a few minutes. To make sure that the foam can fully expand, you should fill the opening no more than 50 percent. If you fill the space more than that, you risk overflow in a few minutes once the expansion is complete.

Spray foam is good for almost every industry. That is because spray foam is used to fill small spaces, pipes, and crawl areas. Additionally, spray foam kits are good for indoor, outdoor, above or underground applications. If your industrial setting has areas that need insulation but are hard to reach, or uniquely shaped, you can most likely benefit from spray foam insulation.
