Q.Can we use the old nozzles with the updated Froth-Pak™ formulation?
A.No, the older version of our nozzle design should not be used with the new, reformulated HFC-free Froth-Pak™.
Q.Does the new Froth-Pak Formulation have the same performance as the legacy formulation?
A.The newly enhanced, innovative solution delivers a global warming potential (GWP) reduction of more than 99% as compared to current formulations and contains no ozone-depleting chemicals or HFCs while enhancing the performance attributes professional contractors expect from Froth-Pak™. Froth-Pak™ Spray Foam now has improved curing time, reduced overspray with new patent-pending application nozzles, and further improved its closed cell content.
Q.Is the legacy formulation of Froth-Pak™ still available for purchase?
A.No, in support of our sustainability goals, all Froth-Pak™ products will only be available for purchase in the new, low-GWP, HFC free formulation.
Q.What is the difference between Froth-Pak™ Insulation 200 and Froth-Pak™ Insulation 210?
A.The difference is that a Froth-Pak™ Insulation 210 is a Class A Fire-Rated Insulation Kit whereas the Froth-Pak™ Insulation 200 is a Sealant Kit. Depending on your application and local building codes will dictate whether or not a Class A fire rating is required.
Q.What “R” Values can be achieved with Froth-Pak™ Insulation and Sealant?
A.For Froth-Pak™ Sealant the LTTR value (Long term thermal resistance) measurement at 1 inch thick is 5.3 ft²•h•°F/Btu (R value) per inch. When sprayed to 2 inches thick the LTTR value (Long term thermal resistance) measurement at 2 inch thick is 5.5 ft²•h•°F/Btu (R value) per inch which is R11.0 at 2 inches thick.
For Froth-Pak™ Insulation (Aged 180 days @ 75°F):
Thickness (inches) | R-Value (ASTM C518, F.ft2.h/Btu) |
1.0" | 6.0 (when sprayed at 1 inch thick) |
2.0" | 12.2 (R5.6/inch when sprayed at 2 inches) |
