From Application to Performance

Spray Foam Magazine – Open-cell spray foam insulation was first introduced in the late 1970s, but it wasn't until the 1990s that it gained widespread popularity in the construction industry. Today, it has revolutionized the insulation category by providing a more efficient alternative to traditional materials such as fiberglass and cellulose, and its widespread use has helped to reduce energy consumption, improve indoor air quality, and create more comfortable and sustainable buildings.

Elastochem is a manufacturer of spray foam insulation products, including open-cell spray foam. Within its portfolio, Elastochem offers two core open-cell products available across North America: Insulthane 500 HY (high yield) and Insulthane 450 NM (no-mix). These premium offerings are formulated using the highest quality of raw materials available, resulting in unparalleled quality and reliable consistency. But why offer two open-cell products? After 30+ years of experience in the market, Elastochem's R&D team knows there's no universal solution. They created two products to give sprayers the specific solutions they need for success.

The “Greatest of All Time” Open-Cell Foam

Meet the "GOAT" of open-cell foam, Insulthane 500 HY. Insulthane 500 HY is a traditional, tried and true open-cell spray foam with an industry-leading R-3.9 and exceptional yield. This product is an emulsion, meaning it results from two liquids mixing together to form a solution. To ensure maximum performance, it is crucial to mix the product thoroughly as it may come out of solution over time. Insulthane 500 HY has been part of the Elastochem portfolio for over 25 years and is a high-yield, easy-to-spray product. Its consistency and temperature resilience are its most celebrated features, making it ideal for a variety of applications across different equipment, climates, and seasons, from industrial to commercial to residential.

Reduce Downtime with a Ready-to-spray Open-Cell foam

Insulthane 450 NM is the latest addition to Elastochem's lineup of open cell products. Boasting a leading R-4.1, this no-mix, easy to spray product is perfect for new sprayers and seasoned pros alike. Insulthane 450 NM requires no mixing or agitation of the resin prior to application, saving valuable time on the job site. Its consistent and easy no-mix processing ensures less downtime and higher job site efficiency. It can be used across climate zones and in a wide range of temperatures, making Insulthane 450 NM a versatile solution for any project. It has excellent adhesion and cohesion properties to stick firmly to substrates and itself, ensuring a smooth and efficient spraying process. Whether you're an experienced sprayer or just starting out, spraying has never been simpler with this new no-mix formula.

Open-cell spray foam is a versatile option that offers a multitude of benefits for building owners, contractors, builders, and homeowners alike. When it comes to consistent high-quality performance, you can always rely on Elastochem's top-of-the-line products.
