Gaco Western WallFoam System 184 BIO

DESCRIPTION:

Gaco Western WallFoam 184 BIO is an HFC blown (zero-ozone depleting) liquid spray system that cures to a medium-density rigid polyurethane insulation material. Gaco WallFoam 184 BIO contains polyols derived from naturally renewable oils, post-consumer recycled plastics, and pre-consumer recycled materials. Gaco WallFoam 184 BIO does not contain CFC’s, HCFC’s or other gases harmful to the environment. This system can be sprayed on clean, dry substrates down to 35° F (2° C). Gaco WallFoam 184 BIO is a class I fire rated foam.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

To ensure optimum performance, a minimum pass thickness of 3/4” (1.9 cm) is recommended with the maximum not to exceed 2” (5.1 cm) per pass. Typical equipment settings: Pre-Heat: Iso (A) 110° - 125° F (43° - 51° C), Poly (B) 115° - 130° F (46° - 55° C). Hose Heat: 115° - 130° F (46° - 55° C). Start on low end of temperature range and work up to achieve optimum spray patte rn and reactivity. Recommended spray pressure: 800 - 1000psi (dynamic) when using a 4242 (01) or a 5252 (02) mix chamber.

NOTE: Federal Trade Commission regulations published in the Federal Register 16 CFR Part 460 require that R value testing of polyurethane foam insulation must be conducted on aged samples at a 75° F mean test temperature. Failure to comply can result in substantial fines by the FTC.

SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS: ASTM E84-05 (Also known as ANSI 2.5, NFPA 255, UBC 8-1 (42-1) and UL 723)

TYPICAL LIQUID CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

"A" Component contains polymeric isocyanate. "B" Component contains polyol, catalysts and blowing agents.

NOTE: Prior to specifying and installing a polyurethane foam interior insulation system, code officials should be consulted for recommendations and approvals. Although federal, local and state building codes vary, all require that polyurethane foam insulation be covered with an approved 15-minute fire barrier. One typically approved material, for example, is 1/2" (1 cm) gypsum wallboard. However, always check with local officials for recommendations and approvals. It is recommended that the approved thermal barrier be installed the same day the foam is applied.

All hot work, i.e. welding, torches and open flame work must be completed prior to installation of the polyurethane foam insulation. Smoking in the same area while the spray polyurethane foam insulation is being applied shall be strictly prohibited.
