TYPES OF INSULATION
Thermal Insulation
For Thermal Insulation. Ecofoam’s main purpose is to reduce heat to pass through either from outside or inside of our homes, tanks, pipes, etc. It has the highest R-value making it more effective if applied on comparing to using other insulation materials. With proper application and right thickness, insulation efficiency could be more than 40%. It is available on spray and pouring applications and can be applied either on the exterior or interior.
Exterior
The type of Ecofoam suitable for exterior application is the closed cell. This is made up of more cells of smaller size making the foam more rigid, dense, and a much better choice for thermal insulation. This is applied on the substrate improving structural durability, insulating it from UV damage and moisture accumulation. It is applied with topcoat for added protection, and for its maintenance.
Interior
Ecofoam application on the inside can also use closed cell type. It is usually applied on under the roof or on the walls reducing heat passage and prevents air infiltration thereby providing comfort to occupants in their homes. The applied foam is less in maintenance as it is not directly exposed to the adverse attacks of the outside environment. This system is also seen in cold storage applications such as vans and warehouses or on other establishments.
Properties of the Closed Cell
| Density | 40-45 kg/m3 |
| Thermal Conductivity | 0.018 W/m°C |
| R-Value | 6.3-8.7 ft.hr. °F/BTU |
| Flammability | B3 |
| Adhesion to Dry Surface | Excellent |
| Application | For Thermal Insulation (Interior and Exterior) |
| Minimum Thickness | 1 inch |
FEATURES, ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS
High Thermal Resistance
Ecofoam has the highest thermal resistance value of 6.3-8.7 ft2.hr °F/BTU thereby having the lowest thermal conductivity among the other insulating materials in the market.
Improved Structural Strength
Closed cell SPF in wall cavity applications has increased racking strength by 330-400%.
Seamless
It forms no gaps, no joints, and connections when it is applied properly and evenly by spraying or pouring.
Self-flashing
It expands and seals multiple penetrations, eliminating the use of additional flashing materials.
Lightweight
It weighs approximately 1 kg/m2. Thus it will not add additional stress to the roofing system if applied on roofs
Easily Maintained
Ecofoam offers easy cleaning and maintenance. Repairs on damaged Ecofoam can be done only on the damaged part without the need of removing the entire foam system.
Sustainable
Ecofoam offers low life cycle cost,and it offers many years of service life as its physical properties hardly change over time with proper maintenance.
Energy-efficient
Ecofoam is considered as one of the commercially available foam products to have the highest insulating R-value per inch which helps in saving electricity cost by maintaining coolness.
100% Adhesion
This enables the foam to grip the building walls, thereby holding tight in the face of strong winds. Roofs with SPF resist roof uplift during high wind drafts.
Versatile
Ecofoam can be applied over a wide variety of clean substrates and can conform to any shapes of a substrate
Prohibits Air Intrusion
Ecofoam eliminates air leakage by effectively sealing the building envelope to create an optimal energy-efficient and healthy environment.
Reduces Sound Transmission
Ecofoam forms an air – tight seal that prevents air leaks and reduces noise transmission. Ecofoam has a Sound Transmission Coefficient of 36, whichmeans that speech is audible but unrecognizable.
Inhibits Mold Growth
Ecofoam is not a food source; Ecofoam limits air supply; and Ecofoam limits the potential of water condensation within the walls.
Sound Transmission Reduction
When properly installed, Ecofoam forms an air-tight seal, void-free walls that prevents air leaks and greatly reduces noise transmission through walls. The Sound Transmission Coefficient (STC) is 36. This means that loud speech is audible but unrecognizable; an onset of privacy. Open cell is mainly for this application on its observed thickness. Its foam cell size is bigger than of closed cell PU foam. It can reduce medium to high frequency sounds and help reduce energy consumption by reducing heat passage. Open cell is suited to use at movie houses and theaters.
Properties of the Open Cell
| Density | 12-16 kg/m3 |
| Thermal Conductivity | 0.036 W/m°C |
| R-Value | 3.4-4.4 ft.hr. °F/BTU |
| Flammability | B3 |
| Adhesion to Dry Surface | Excellent |
| Application | For Minimal Sound Reduction (Interior only) |
| Minimum Thickness | 2 inches |
