Fire Resistant Insulation Complements Safety Systems November 26, 2007

It’s all too easy for an accidental spark to start a blaze. And we all know weather can conspire to prolong and expand the flames. However, using Apex’s foam insulation with a fire protection system offers defense against smaller blazes, and as easy as spraying in insulation.
As part of a fire protection system, Apex insulation means you don’t have to worry about air pockets in the foam where combustibles create fire hazards. You also don’t have to fear flames getting into unfilled pockets to either burn the structure beneath or become hotbeds should a fire occur. Additionally, Apex’s insulation keeps air out, preventing more air from contributing to dangerous backdrafts.
One of the best fire safety features about Apex’s spray in foams is that the material itself doesn’t burn. Even if flames somehow get into the insulation, it doesn’t catch fire. Regardless of exposure time, the flames never fully take hold. Considering fire damage costs, charring is a more affordable trade off.
Other products haven’t outlasted Apex Foam’s fire resistant insulation in fire tests. Clearly, using Apex Foam as part of your fire protection is one of the most effective ways of protecting your building. The benefits are clear from the tests. Apex’s foam systems for fire protection are a smart and efficient choice for any structure.
Fire hazards are a concern for any building owner. Creating fire safe structures is always a primary consideration. Visit Apex Foam Industries to see how their products can serve your needs.
Foam Insulation Spray – Revolutionizing Green Building April 17, 2007

Foam Insulation Spray
Easy to apply, and in some cases made from bio-friendly materials, foam insulation spray will be a boon to the building industry.
Foam insulation, sprayed on, can be applied as easily as traditional blown in insulation and is likely to increase your home value and decrease your electric bills.
And best of all, there are some spray foam insulation materials that get you your green credit as well. Two of which we’ve heard and who we’ll soon highlight use Sugar and Soy as their secondary ingredients.
From powerhousetv.com:
The benefits
Unlike traditional insulating materials like fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam insulation can seal and fill all the tiny cracks and seams you might not even see. The seamless material virtually eliminates energy-wasting air filtration.In addition, polyurethane has the highest R-value for any given thickness compared to other insulation products. Because it provides a higher R-value per inch, homeowners using foam insulation can use 2×4 construction on exterior walls instead of the 2×6 studs required with traditional insulation.
This can save on framing costs, as well as extended window and door jambs. This simple change can also increase the amount of living space by as much as 35 square feet in a 1,500-square-foot home – the equivalent of an extra closet!
Foam insulation also helps control moisture condensation, it won’t shrink or settle, and it’s fire- and insect-resistant.
Pretty amazing stuff – and to think, one little chemical reaction can do all that.
From Wikipedia:
Advantages
* Blocks airflow and can serve as vapor barrier.
* Can fill wall cavities in finished walls without tearing the walls apart (like loose-fill).
* Works well in tight spaces (like loose-fill, but superior).
* Provides acoustical insulation (like loose-fill, but superior).
* Expands while curing, filling bypasses, and providing excellent resistance to air infiltration (unlike batts, blankets, and most types of loose-fill, which can leave bypasses and air pockets).
* Increases structural stability (unlike loose-fill).
* Can be used in places where loose-fill cannot, such as between joists and rafters. When used between rafters, the spray foam can cover up the nails protruding from the underside of the sheathing, protecting your head.
* Can be applied in small quantities.
* Do not contain CFC’s anymore.
* Cementitious foam is fireproof.
