Spray Foam Insulation

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a highly versatile polymer, formulated by combining isocyanate and polyol resin. These react and expand over 30 times their original volume. The ability to mix the ratios of these chemicals, plus the addition of catalysts, is what makes polyurethane so versatile.

SPF self-adheres to most building materials and forms a continuous blanket of insulation that bridges gaps and cracks, without the need for fasteners which can act as thermal bridges. Unlike fiberglass (FG) batts, SPF is durable, does not degrade over time, and can be used to insulate new buildings or to retrofit existing buildings.

Because SPF is applied by spraying, it will conform to the shape of the substrate, allowing large areas of complex shapes to be insulated quickly. Due to its light weight, it has little design impact on existing structural elements, while structurally strengthening the substrate.

Waterproof Coatings

Effective waterproofing of building ceilings, floors and walls extends the lifespan by preventing water leaks and eliminating the risk of condensation that can cause fungus, mould, damaged interiors and floors, that weaken the building structure. Formulated with sustainability in mind, we offer low or zero VOC waterproofing solutions, coupled with high-performance, that have stood the test of time.

Pacific Urethanes offer a wide range of cost-effective polyurethane and polyurea waterproof coatings for demanding environments. They are available in,

Custom Formulations
Decorative
Single and Plural Component
Aromatic and Aliphatic
Low or Zero VOC
Roller, squeegee and spray applications

Polyurethane waterproofing systems can be applied in-situ and forms a homogeneous membrane that conforms to the shape it is applied to. It adheres to most building materials and forms a continuous membrane that bridges gaps and cracks. Its excellent adhesive properties allow it to adhere even to porous substrates, such as concrete. It allows the protection of critical building components in major construction projects.

High-performance polyurea and hybrid systems provide flexible, durable, seamless membranes with,

Easy Installation
Total Water Tightness
Fast Cure Time
Excellent Chemical Resistance
High Abrasion Resistance
Temperature Resistance

Multipurpose High-Strength Adhesives

Innovative polyurethane high performance adhesives and sealants for the building and construction industry. Once cured, the sealant can be painted or sanded, and can compensate for small unevenness in the surface. Two-component adhesives have outstanding bridging ability with the possibility to join even large gaps

Outstanding Adhesive Properties (adheres even to porous substrates, such as concrete)
Excellent Bond Strength
High Durability (Weather & Environmental Resistance)
Excellent Elasticity
Versatile
High Performance
High Impact & Sheer Strength
Resistance to Aging & High Structural Strength

Structural Panels (SIPs)

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are specially designed by injecting liquid polyurethane (PUR) closed-cell foam uniformly between two panel skins, and is an efficient material for residential and light commercial buildings. Our products for the built environment offer,

High R-Value
High Fire Resistance Rating
Low Moisture Absorption Properties
Chemical Resistance

CASE STUDY

Under-Slab Insulation Project

A leading specialist in commercial and residential insulation solutions, required an under-slab insulation material to achieve a high thermal resistance (R-Value) in less space than traditional Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) board.

Project Deliveries:

Pacific Urethanes delivered a spray polyisocyanurate (PIR) formulation that provided,

High R-rating with high compressive strength
Seamless application resulting in high energy efficiency without thermal bridging
Quick turn around and progression of the construction project
