FOAM-LOK 500 is ideal for a variety of building envelope applications including use in walls, floors, ceilings (including vaulted and cathedral style) and attics. The material works by forming a completely sealed air barrier in wall cavities and can be utilized to fill 2” x 6” stud wall construction in a single application.

Additional benefits of FOAM-LOK 500 Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation are substantial and include noise attenuation and significant reduction in unmanaged moisture. Additionally, the product’s ability to superbly seal the envelope improves indoor air quality while reducing temperature fluctuations and the presence of hot and cold pockets inside, greatly enhancing the indoor comfort of inhabitants.
 
FOAM-LOK 500 is a spray applied product with no mixing requirements. The insulation material is a water-blown technology with non-emissive catalysts in an added benefit to the environment.
 
“The benefits of FOAM-LOK 500 to contractors, builders, homeowners and building owners are far reaching,” added Kramer. “This improved insulation not only provides indoor comfort, but is earth-friendly in so many ways. It’s a great addition to Lapolla’s family of products.”
