Aldo Products Company, Inc., has been manufacturing coating products for spray polyurethane foam contractor
almost 30 years. The product line today consists of FM Global, Florida Building code and Miami Dade approved acrylic elastomeric coatings, several water based and solvent-borne primers and sealers, for spray polyurethane foam roofing applications. More recently, we have developed and marketed the industry’s leading intumescent coating for protection against ignition in spray polyurethane foam insulation applications.
All ALDOCOAT products are manufactured in our North Carolina facility and shipped to distributors and contractors across the U.S., including Hawaii, Alaska and Guam.

Arkema is a global supplier of Forane® fluorochemical blowing agents for the rigid foam and other industries, offering the widest product range of any industrial manufacturer.

Arkema is committed to the rigid foam industry as the first producer of HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b, the materials that replaced CFC-11 and CFC-12. Arkema, with a world-class HFC-134a production site in Calvert City, Kentucky, has continued to develop solutions beyond HCFC’s. These solutions include advances in HFC-134a foam processing and improved polyurethane foam performance using our proprietary Transcend® additive technology (trans- 1,2-dichloroethylene or TDCE), with more innovation on the horizon. For example, when Arkema’s HFC-134a is blended with Transcend® additive technology, the resulting coblown polyurethane foam has better adhesion than PUR foam blown with HCFC-22, with comparable compressability strength and dimensional stability. Transcend® additive technology also helps to reduce smoke generation and frame spread, and reduces the cost of formulations where this new additive is in the blend, making Transcend® technology ideal for next-generation blowing agent formulations used as replacements for 141b.

Headquartered in Fayetteville, Ark., BioBased Insulation revolutionized the insulation industry when it began offering third-party tested, soy-based spray foam insulation products at competitive prices in 2003.

BioBased Insulation is focused on creating products that enable sustainable building practices by replacing petroleum-based polyols with bio-based polyols and chemical blowing agents with water. BioBased Insulation is committed to continually producing greener products with improved performance attributes and environmental benefits.

The science behind the success of BioBased Insulation is the integration of natural and renewable ingredients, such as soy bean oil. BioBased Insulation holds the worldwide rights for the use of Agrol®, a 96% pure bio-polyol, in residential and commercial spray-applied insulation products.

As a company, we want to help the world build structures that are healthy, comfortable, energy efficient, environmentally responsible and durable. Because of our commitment, we only focus on products that are increasingly sustainable. Green is not a project line for us. It is all that we do.

Brentwood Industries, a worldwide leader and manufacturer of products for thermal dynamic and biological process industries, is excited to announce its patented AccuVent attic ventilation baffle.

AccuVent is a one-piece baffle and wind-block designed to meet the demands of innovative insulation professionals, general contractors and architects alike.

AccuVents are available for both 16” and 24” rafters for both traditional and cathedral ceiling applications. Brentwood selected a 100% recycled, flame retardant plastic for the AccuVent family of vents. The plastic is blended to be resistant to cracking at low temperatures and will not support mold or mildew growth. Additionally, AccuVent is ideally suited for all types of Spray Foam insulation methods.

For non-ventilated attics, cutting edge Spray Foam contractors are increasing their speed and efficiency of installation by using the AccuVent as a “spray template” instead of creating a time consuming “soft-wall” from the top-plate to the roof sheeting.

In situations where a ventilated traditional or cathedral application is required the foam can be applied directly… AccuVent is unaffected by the chemical and thermal characteristics of the rapidly expanding foam and its overall design will not distort as the foam expands to its full dimension. Foam and cardboard baffles cannot offer this type of performance. Brentwood’s high quality products are backed by an in-depth technical support and reliable, responsive sales support.
