CPi has been selected by Home Foam as a distributor for their low density foam insulation. For the time being, CPi will sell this product exclusively to CPi's customers in Canada.

Home Foam is a low-density, water-blown foam insulation for use in commercial, industrial, institutional and residential structures.

Applied in liquid form, Home Foam reacts within seconds, expanding to as much as 130 times its original volume to fill and seal. Adhering to most any surface or substrate, Home Foam creates both a thermal barrier and air seal. Its unique open-celled structure, provides excellent thermal resistance and creates an effective sound barrier.

Home Foam is a flexible product that can be used for a variety of applications. It can be sprayed into ceilings, floors, attics and crawl spaces as well as walls. It can also be used in "pour foam" scenarios to fill voids. Excess foam can be trimmed within seconds of spraying, allowing drywall and/or finishing surfaces to be installed as soon as the application is complete*.

Stable and inert when cured, Home Foam remains supple, permanently bonded to the structure and will not sag, settle or shrink.

* In rare instances an individual may be sensitive to freshly sprayed Home Foam and should avoid entering the building for up to 24 hours after application.

Electrical Wiring
Home Foam can be used with 14/3 and 12/2 wiring (122º F / 50º C) without affecting wire coverings.

Corrosion
Home Foam does not cause corrosion to steel.

Bacteria and Fungi
Home Foam is not a food source for mould. With it's unique air barrier qualities, it does not allow airborne transmission of moisture, food, or spores into the envelope of a structure.

Rodents and Pests
Home Foam is not a food source for insects, rodents, or other pests.

Environmental Health and Safety
Home Foam contains no formaldehyde, CFC of HCFC. It is 100% water blown. Home Foam has been tested for VOCs by SRC and, as a result of its exceptional performance, a mere 24-hour occupancy waiting period was recommended for extremely sensitive individuals.

Caution
Home Foam should not be installed within 2" / 50mm of heat emitting devices producing temperatures in excess of 200º F / 93º C.

Packaging and Storage
Home Foam is supplied in 55 US gallon steel drums. Component A, isocynate, is shipped in red drums and must be protected from moisture and freezing. Component B, resin, is shipped in white drums and must be protected from temperatures above
120º F / 49º C.

Application Requirements
For optimum yield, Home Foam should be sprayed at 600-1000psi at 120-130º F / 49-54º C. Component B should be stirred/mixed well both before and during application.

When applied by trained and certified installers, Home Foam yields have reached 24,000 bd ft / 5663 bd m of consistently perfect foam per material set.

Warranty
Home Insulation Corporation warrants that, when applied by certified installers following the product installation instructions, all properties of Home Foam will be consistent with the specifications detailed on this page.

The physical and performance properties of Home Foam/Insulthane 100 were determined by tests conducted by ULC and Warnock-Hersey. Specifications may be revised periodically as the quest to improve Home Foam continues. Please ensure you are referring to current specifications.
