DIY - Expanding Insulation Spray & Injection Foam Kits
The FROTH-PAK kit comprises two pressurised tanks, linked by hoses, to a dispensing gun. When the contents of the two tanks are dispensed, they chemically react to produce a froth-like substance, which quickly expands to about three to five times the dispensed volume. The foam solidifies in about 60 seconds and fully cures into a solid permanent structure in approximately five minutes. Cured foam resists moisture, insulates, dampens noise, adds structural support, provides an air-seal and fills voids.
Froth-Pak is the best form of insulation available, because of its closed compact cellular structure.
Froth-Pak although combustible has a European Class B2 or new Class E fire rating which is equivalent to BS EN11925-2, making it difficult to ignite. The foam's low thermal conductivity makes it approximately twice as effective as an insulation material as other forms of insulation such as glass fibre , expanded polystyrene and rockwool®.
Spray Froth-Pak onto any clean, dry surface in any direction to insulate, fill and seal various size voids, dampen sound or reduce vibration. It is specifically designed to spray onto flat or irregular surfaces, and to fill large cavities.
Froth-Pak 'Quick Cure' fully expands and dries tack-free within seconds. Cut able in 2-5 minutes.
Froth-Pak Two-component foam systems expand with approximately an 8-to-1 ratio, and cure to a semi-rigid closed cell foam upon the chemical reaction of component A (a polymeric isocyanate) with component B (a polyol blend containing certain additives).
Froth-Pak adheres to almost all building materials with the exception of surfaces such as polyethylene, Teflon®, silicone, oils and greases, mould release agents, and similar materials.
Optimal application temperature is 24°C (75°F) but may be sprayed onto colder or warmer substrates, with slight effects on the foam characteristics. Cured foam is resistant to heat and cold, -129°C to +93°C (-200°F to +200°F), and to aging, but not UV rays unless painted, covered or coated. Cured foam is also chemically inert and non-reactive in approved applications.
Froth-Pak systems require no outside mechanical or electrical power source and are disposable & refillable. Handi-Foam® is available in various kit sizes to meet specific job application requirements. When sprayed, the foam will create a seamless, continuous seal to insulate and protect against dust, air infiltration, pests, etc.
Typical applications include:
- Spraying underside of slate tiles, to hold tiles in place, to help insulation, to water proof and stop condensation
- Spraying wood or metal sheds for insulation and stopping condensation.
- New build or renovation of old properties.
- Insulating commercial & residential construction
- Filling openings in boats & trailers
- Spraying between stud walls, for insulation and sound proofing.
- Insulating spas & hot tubs
- Large surface coverage and large voids
- Loft and/or Roof insulation
- Filling blind cavities and narrow openings
