How to Use Pour Foam for Insulation and Soundproofing - TRUE COMPOSITES

Pour foam is a type of foam insulation that is ideal for both insulation and soundproofing. It is made from two liquids that are mixed together and then poured onto a surface. When the liquids come into contact with each other, they expand and harden, creating a solid barrier. Pour foam is often used in construction and renovation projects because it is an effective way to insulate a space. Here are some tips on how to use pour foam for insulation and soundproofing.

Top Uses for Liquid Urethane Foam:

Soundproofing Your Boat:

Want to escape the constant drone of your boat’s engines? Our Liquid Urethane Foam helps reduce ambient noise, allowing you to enjoy a quieter, more serene experience on the water. This foam is perfect for insulating the hull and compartments, creating a more peaceful environment for you and your passengers.

Increased Flotation and Buoyancy:

One of the standout features of our foam is its ability to add buoyancy to your boat. By filling floatation chambers or dock parts, it enhances the overall stability and safety of your vessel. This added buoyancy ensures that your boat stays afloat even under challenging conditions, giving you peace of mind while out at sea.

Durability Against Marine Elements:

True Composites’ Liquid Urethane Foam is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. Once cured, it is resistant to gasoline, oil, fresh and saltwater, and solvents. This durability ensures that the foam maintains its integrity and performance, making it a reliable choice for long-term use.

Easy Application:

Even if you’re a novice boat owner, you’ll find our foam easy to use. With a 1:1 resin to hardener ratio, it’s straightforward to mix and apply. The foam expands quickly and hardens within 10 minutes, allowing you to tackle your projects efficiently. You don’t need any special equipment of training to apply it- just follow the instructions on the bottle.

Sculpting, Casting, Plug Making:

While pour foam is most often used for filing gaps and voids, insulation and soundproofing in the marine industry, it also has other uses. It can be sculpted and carved as part of a sculpture. It can be sculpted into a plug and then a mold can be made from it. It can even be used to soundproof and insulate your home or office if you can pour it just right.

How To:

It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using Liquid Urethane Pour Foam.  The basic instructions are as follows-

-Wear protection including gloves and safety goggles to protect skin and eyes. It is essential to protect your clothes as well as the surfaces nearby that you don’t want to get pour foam on. Pour foam drips and spills will be very difficult if not impossible to remove so take the extra time to protect your skin, nearby surfaces and clothing.

-Measure and mix Part A and Part B equally. A drill mixer can be used.

-Work quickly

-Pour the foam into prepared space and let cure.

-Additional layers can be added

-Once cured, the pour foam can be sanded or coated with resin. (optional)
