The Science of Superior Insulation:
How American Spray Foam Works
At American Spray Foam, we harness the power of advanced chemistry to deliver insulation solutions that redefine building performance. Our spray foam’s unique properties allow it to create an airtight seal, filling every nook and cranny for unparalleled energy efficiency. Understanding the science behind our product will help you appreciate the lasting benefits it provides.
The Two-Component System (A & B Sides)
Our spray foam insulation relies on a two-component system, consisting of ‘A’ and ‘B’ side liquids. When these components are combined under pressure through specialized spray equipment, a chemical reaction occurs. This reaction causes the liquid mixture to rapidly expand and solidify, forming a durable, high-performance insulation layer. The precise formulation of these components ensures optimal expansion, adhesion, and insulation properties.
Achieving the full benefits of our spray foam requires a meticulous application process, carried out by trained professionals.
Preparation
Before application, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Any debris, dust, or moisture can compromise the foam's adhesion and performance. Proper preparation ensures a strong bond and a seamless insulation barrier.
Application
Our certified applicators use specialized spray equipment to apply the foam mixture. This equipment precisely controls the ratio and pressure of the 'A' and 'B' side components, ensuring consistent and even coverage. The spray technique is crucial for filling complex cavities and hard-to-reach areas.
Expansion & Curing
Upon application, the foam rapidly expands, filling the designated space. This expansion creates an airtight seal, eliminating air leaks and thermal bridges. The curing process begins immediately, with the foam solidifying into a rigid or semi-rigid structure, depending on the type of foam used (open-cell or closed-cell). This quick curing time allows for efficient project completion.
Final Result
The result is a seamless, energy-efficient insulation barrier that provides exceptional thermal performance, air sealing, and moisture control. Our spray foam eliminates gaps and joints, preventing air infiltration and minimizing energy loss. This translates to significant savings on heating and cooling costs, as well as a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment.
