What is Spray Polyurethane Foam?
Spray Polyurethane Foam is a polyurethane based, very comprehensive heat and sound lotion product that can be applied to surfaces by spraying with its special application apparatus. It is single component.
Spray Polyurethane Foam, which has only two-component equivalents until now, can be used quickly and easily by amateur users as well as professionals, thanks to its single-component version. Transportation, storage, application and labor costs are very low compared to other equivalents.
What are the Application Areas of Spray Polyurethane Foam?
Spray Polyurethane Foam can be used almost anywhere imaginable for heat and acoustic insulation purposes. For example, roofs, attics, facades, foundations, basements, basements, floors, interior walls, interfloor overlaps, interior partitions, ceilings and cellars. In addition, it can be applied to the structural elements of buildings, balconies, arches, doors, window slopes, sloping surfaces such as pipes and channels, tanks, and all damaged and irregular surfaces. It can also be used in hundreds of different areas such as vehicle bodies, vehicle trailers, container carriers, container brackets, garages, boats, yachts, boats and so on.
How is Spray Polyurethane Insulation Foam Applied?
The use of Spray Polyurethane Insulation Foam is quite simple compared to its counterparts. First of all, the application apparatus for steep floors is firmly attached to the tip of the application gun. Care is taken to ensure that there is no gap between the apparatus and the gun. Because if there is a gap, the foam will leak from here during the application. The can is then shaken well at least 20 times. The application gun is attached by opening the lid on the top of the tin and turning it. The intensity of the application can be adjusted as desired by loosening the screw on the back of the gun. If there is no special situation, it is recommended to open the screw all the way. Afterwards, the product is applied relatively quickly from an average distance of 40-45 cm from the surface. Moving closer or further away from the surface also brings disadvantages. If we get closer to the surface, our application thickness increases. The ideal application should be a maximum thickness of 1.5 cm in 1 coat. If you make a thicker application in a single layer, both the heat and sound insulation value will decrease. The ideal application is 1.5 cm thick, 3 layers on top of each other. Then, an application equal to the performance of equivalent heat and sound insulation materials will be made. In case the application is made from a distance of more than 40-45 cm, the application thickness will decrease and therefore the consumption will increase.
A apparatus is removed from the tip of the gun, B apparatus is attached. The gun and the product are held upright as if they were to be applied to the vertical floor, but the B apparatus will spray the product onto the ceiling. In this application, the application is made from an average distance of 15-20 cm by approaching the surface.
What are the Benefits of Spray Polyurethane Foam?
In countries where the climate is generally cold, insulation is given great importance. People prefer suitable insulation types in order to live a comfortable life and keep heating/cooling costs to a minimum. Akfix Thermcoat Spray Polyurethane Foam provides strong sound, heat and water insulation.
Thermcoat, which is a monolithic thermal insulation system that prevents the formation of thermal bridges, contributes directly to the thermal insulation and reduces the heating/cooling costs of the buildings.
- Thanks to its high acoustic insulation feature, it absorbs sounds and offers peaceful living spaces.
- After curing, it has high resistance to many solvents (acetone, thinner, etc.), especially water. For this reason, it also contributes to the waterproofing of the buildings.
