New Non-Heated Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation Product Is Announced
MESA, AZ - August 08, 2011 - SWD Urethane announced the development of a new no-heat spray foam material that is specifically designed to work with the new Graco E-8p Reactor Foam Machine. The new foam, identified as Quik-Shield 106 ZH, is a ½ pound, open cell sprayfoam insulation product with a 4.0 R-value.
SWD claims that Quik-Shield 106 ZH is the only ½ lb. no-heat foam currently approved for the E-8p. The Quik-Shield formula is both ICC and CCMC (Canada) approved, and has passed the toughest SPF smoke and flame test, ASTM E-84 at 4”. The foam also carries the GREENGUARD Children & Schools certification, so it is certified to have low VOCs, contain no formaldehyde, and can help create a healthy indoor living environment.
Jim Perkins, president for SWD Urethane, explained some of the benefits of the new system, “We believe the Quik-Shield foam along with the new E-8 Reactor will be a break-through system for the home remodeling and retrofit market. It will open up opportunities for people to improve the energy performance of their home by up to 40% or more. The lower system cost of the E-8p machine also makes it a good product for the traditional insulation installer looking to get into the spray foam insulation marketplace. We know there are contractors out there using froth kits, and we hope to help them realize, that this system is better.”
As a smaller lightweight system, the E-8p is Ideal for spraying attics and rim joists in existing homes, touching up foam insulation in tight areas. It represents a lower cost alternative to froth kits and is a great backup system for spray rigs. Because of the E-8p's compact design, the foam comes in 5 gallon buckets versus the 55 gallon drums for the larger spray rigs.
Quik-Shield 106 ZH is offered exclusively by SWD Urethane.
