Spray Foam Insulation - Open Cell Foam
What is Open Cell Foam?
Open-cell foam is soft - like a cushion or the packaging material molded inside a plastic bag to fit a fragile object being shipped. The cell walls, or surfaces of the bubbles, are broken and air fills all of the spaces in the material. This makes the foam soft or weak, as if it were made of broken balloons or soft toy rubber balls. The insulation value of this foam is related to the insulation value of the calm air inside the matrix of broken cells.The densities of open-cell foams are around 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound per cubic foot.
A water-blown, economical alternative to high performance, closed-cell spray foam insulation.
SEALITE™ is a basic open-cell, spray-in-place soft foam insulation. It can be compared to Icynene ®, SealectionTM 500 and other light-density, open-cell products.
SEALITE™ insulation is an air barrier and keeps dust and pollen out for a more comfortable environment. A separate vapor barrier will often be required.
SEALITE™ will not settle, shrink or deteriorate and maintains its R-value and sound reduction qualities within close tolerances over the life of your home.
SEALITE™ offers equivalent R-values to fiberglass batting and other open-celled foam insulations. Exterior wall thicknesses needed to achieve required R-values are the same as for these other insulation material.
Sealite™ Insulation Systems are formulated with an anti-microbial ingredient to inhibit the growth of molds that may affect this product. The anti-microbial properties do not protect occupants of spaces insulated with Sealite insulation from potential deleterious effects of molds, mold spores, or disease organisms that may be present in the environment.
Density (normal): 0.5 lb. /ft3
R-value: 13 @ 3.5-inch thickness*
*Approximately the same R-value as fiberglass batting
Complies with federal and state
environmental regulations. |
