Product
SEALECTION ™ 500
- Is an open cell semi-rigid spray-applied polyurethane foam insulation system which is made up of millions of microscopic cells that simultaneously insulate and air-seal
- Has been specifically designed to make your home more energy efficient, comfortable, quiet, and less dusty
- Is applied as a liquid which expands into a semi-rigid mass; it automatically "SEALS" off those drafty areas like baseboards, headers, sill plates, around windows, doors, electrical outlets, pipes, etc. It also minimizes uncontrolled air leakage throughout the building envelope (wall, ceilings,...) thereby reducing energy losses
INSULATION << R >> VALUE 
SEALECTION ™ 500
- R-Value does not diminish over time
- Cellular structure and monolithic surface
(no joints or seams) make it ideal for energy conversation - will maintain the same R-Value even at lowered temperatures
R-Value and Air Barrier
SEALECTION ™ 500 is a relatively new product in the home-insulation market with many added benefits over standard fiberglass batts insulation. The greatest benefits of SEALECTION ™ 500 are in its thermal resistance performance and low air leakage. The R-value of a wall using fiberglass batts insulation can be significantly reduced from the laboratory-measured R-value as a result of air leakage through the wall. The R-value of a wall using SEALECTION ™ 500, however, suffers NO reduction in its R-Value because SEALECTION ™ 500 minimizes air leakage.
Most factory-made insulation materials suffer a reduction in performance due to air leakage. As a result, the insulating value of many walls may be as low as 50% of the R-value of the insulating material they contain. By contrast, the insulation value of a wall containing custom-installed SEALECTION ™ 500 performs close to the laboratory tested R-value of the material and seals the wall cavity from air filtration as well.
SEALECTION
™ 500 is custom installed and expands after spraying. It can completely fill
any cavity and form a continuous air barrier by adhering to other building materials.
These are things that batts and boards and blown insulation simply cannot achieve,
which accounts for the superiority of the SEALECTION ™ 500 system. Think
about it: every gap or void in normal insulation has an R-value of nearly zero.
That's not a problem with a house insulated with SEALECTION ™ 500. Isn't that what you want for your new home? | Environmentally Safe |

Air Seal - Air Leakage
SEALECTION ™ 500
- Seals cracks, gaps, etc. found in on-site construction
- Is an air barrier due to its low air leakage
- Can withstand gust wind conditions (160 miles/hr. wind velocity)
Low Density Polyurethane Foam in Wall Cavities
SEALECTION ™ 500
- Seals and insulates in one application
- Does not settle or compact in cavities
- Expands up to 120 times its liquid volume within seconds
SEALECTION ™ 500 differentiates its nominal R-value from fiberglass basically showing that R-values are not created equal; there are laboratory R-values and performing R-values.
