Open Cell Products

Open Cell is a two-component, light-density, one-to-one-by-volume spray polyurethane foam. Open Cell is site manufactured by mixing “A” component (ISO) and a proprietary “B” component (RESIN), which contains ZERO ozone depleting blowing agents with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1. Open Cell spray polyurethane foam insulation is designed for use in residential applications in lieu of insulating materials such as fiberglass, cellulose, or other loose fill products. Typical areas of use include; but are not limited to; garage ceilings, attics, unvented attics, walls, and between floors.

Whitepaper:

The Material Compatibility Between Spray Foam Insulation and Henry Blueskin SA

This white paper addresses the peeling issues between Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation (SPF) and Henry Blueskin SA, an asphaltic-based air barrier, observed across Canada in late 2022. Investigations revealed that the adhesion failures were related to the SPF’s dimensional stability rather than the compatibility with Blueskin SA. Testing indicated that inadequate stability in the SPF could cause it to contract, leading to detachment from the Blueskin SA. The issue highlights the critical nature of SPF products’ dimensional stability, especially in harsh climates, to maintain integrity and performance.

The conclusion drawn is that the observed compatibility problems stem from the dimensional instability of certain SPF products, not from an inherent issue with the materials themselves. Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation’s SealTite One, showed effective compatibility and stability in tests, adhering well to Blueskin SA without peeling.
