Important safety guidelines and precautions related to spray polyurethane foam at your fingertips
Second Foam Book from BaySystems is an invaluable educational and marketing tool for builders and contractors
Pittsburgh — Builders and contractors looking for safety guidelines pertaining to spray polyurethane foam now have a resource right at their fingertips: the Foam Book from BaySystems, the global polyurethane systems business of Bayer MaterialScience. This second Foam Book follows the successful introduction of the original Foam Book in
2009, which highlighted the benefits of spray polyurethane foam.
BaySystems spray polyurethane foam provides builders and contractors many benefits that enhance the total building envelope to provide sustainability, durability, energy efficiency, and improved occupant comfort.
The Foam Book was designed and produced with BaySystems customers’ needs in mind, and uses BaySystems industry expertise to assemble a broad range of information that was previously difficult to find in a convenient, educational guide.
To gain all the advantages of BaySystems spray polyurethane foam, proper application and safety precautions must be followed. This Foam Book – the second in a series of educational guidebooks – includes detailed information about:
• Thermal and ignition barrier materials and when to use them;
• Selection and use of personal protective equipment, and;
• Additional resources for safety and protective equipment.
“As energy efficient homes and buildings become more imperative, our spray polyurethane foam can eliminate air leaks, provide moisture and wind resistance, reduce sound transmission and contribute to a healthier structure,” said Renee Zierden, the general manager of BaySystems. “It’s also important to educate builders and contractors on spray polyurethane foam safety precautions, so they can experience the products’ optimum benefits. Safe product installation that is compliant with building codes is critical to maintaining a robust and sustainable market for spray polyurethane foam. Bayer MaterialScience is committed to these principles.”
