[email protected] Polyurethane Spray Foam: Insulating walls to lower energy costs
Wall Foam is a high R-value polyurethane insulation. The foam consists of two liquids that are mixed in the spray equipment. When sprayed, the foam expands and cures to a light-weight, semi-rigid insulation that s
eals cracks, seams and penetrations. Wall Foam gives you the ultimate in air seal technology, meaning your energy dollars don't fly out of your pocket through gaps in your insulation. Features & Benefits
Superior Air Seal Technology
Saves on Heating and Cooling Costs
Eliminates Entry Points for Pests
Prevents Mold Between the Walls
Designed for both Hot and Cool Climates
Wall Foam insulation reduces your household's carbon footprint. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the biggest advantages of the Wall Foam insulation system? Low Energy Costs - Utility bills are typically 20-50% lower in homes insulated with Wall Foam. A Healthy Home - Less air infiltration means less mold, pollen, and dust travel into your home. Q: What are the differences between Wall Foam insulation and loose-fill insulation? Wall Foam seals penetrations; hot or cold air can blow right through loose-fill insulation
Wall Foam does not sag, settle or shrink over time; the settling of loose-fill insulation reduces coverage area
Wall Foam reduces condensation within the walls; loose-fill insulation allows moisture to travel freely and increases the likelyhood of mold, mildew and wood rot
Wall Foam does not provide nesting material or food for rodents and insects; loose-fill insulation is more hospitable to pests
Two Pound Wall Foam
The Two pound wall spray foams are HFC blown (zero-ozone depleting) liquid spray systems that cure to a low-density rigid polyurethane insulation material. Two pound wall foams do not contain CFC’s, HCFC’s or other gases harmful to the environment. Product Data Sheets:

Two pound spray foam for interior insulation and tanks. Has been tested at Intertek Testing Laboratories (Report Number 3088101-501) - in accordance with ASTM E-84 receiving a Class I rating of Flame = 25 and Smoke Development = 400. In addition Gaco WallFoam 193 has been approved by the International Code Council Evaluation Services (ICC-ES ESR # 2478). Homesulate™ foam insulation was developed by a leading chemical company in 1966 for use as a fire resistant thermal and acoustical insulation product to be utilized in commercial and residential structures. In 1975, Homesulate™ foam products and their characteristics were expanded and refined with the help of a grant, provided by the United States Department of Energy, under the Federal Non-Nuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974 (Public Law #93-577). Recognizing the inherent shortcomings of polyurethane and urea formaldehyde foams, the D.O.E. chose Homesulate™ foam as one of three products from a total of 7,000 to assist in further development. After three years of intense research and testing, Homesulate™ wall foam greatly surpassed all of the D.O.E. expectations, and was made available for commerce.

Design, Fabrication, and Installation
The simple beauty of removable insulating blankets is the concept of "once and done." Once the blankets are fabricated, they can be removed, reapplied, and reused. This is in sharp contrast to traditional rigid insulation, which tends to deteriorate if subjected to the continual application and removal common to equipment that needs frequent maintenance. For example, maintenance involved in packing valves requires removing insulation at least annually. The rigid board insulation typically used tends to break apart when removed. So, new insulation needs to be applied during each maintenance cycle, adding to costs and extending downtime
Energy Savings
Despite rising energy costs, and the obvious benefits of insulation in controlling energy usage, some maintenance managers opt to leave problem areas un insulated. This is often the case with irregular surfaces, environments where water, oil, or other liquids tend to drip and degrade traditional insulation products, equipment that is hard to access, or in places where frequent maintenance is required. Removable insulation blankets can be fabricated to fit any surface or equipment configuration. Special fabrics can be incorporated to resist leaking liquids, and removable blankets are ideal for situations requiring continual removal and reapplication. These capabilities offer the opportunity to achieve dramatic savings in energy costs when removable's are applied to previously un insulated equipment. Here's an example of the savings one plant achieved by covering previously un insulated valves with removable insulating blankets. In less than six months, the plant's energy cost savings covered the original cost of fabricating and installing the removable blankets. Using a formula developed by the Department of Energy, the energy and dollar savings of covering 12 un insulated valves was determined as follows:
A 600 F operating temperature and a 6-inch valve size were used to determine that 8,270 BTU per hour would be saved by installing removable insulation covers on the valves. The annual energy savings, based on an assumed continuous operation at 80 percent efficiency at a fuel price of $8 per million BTU, are calculated as follows:
Annual Fuel Savings
8,270 Btu per hour x 8,760 hours x 0.80 = 58 MMBtu....
Annual Dollar Savings
58 MMBtu x $8/MMBtu = $464 per 6-inch gate valve...
Estimated Payback Period
Removable blankets at an installed cost of approximately $200 each equals 5.2-month return on investment. Multiply the savings by the number of valves to be covered. In this plant, there were 12 un insulated valves; so the annual energy savings would be just about $5,568. Through an initial investment of $2,400 for the blankets, this plant realized a net savings of more than $3,168 the first year, and then $5,568 per year thereafter—a substantial addition to the bottom line.
