Tripolymer Foam Insulation
Background
Tripolymer was originally designed for use as a highly efficient and fire resistant
thermal insulation for the NASA Aero Space Industry. In 1975, Tripolymer foam
products and their characteristics were expanded and refined with assistance from
the United States Department of Energy under the Federal Non-Nuclear energy
research and development act of 1974.
Benefits:
Can this type of foam improve the fire rating of a wall system?
Yes! For over 34 years, C.P. Chemical Company, has engaged some of the most
reputable independent laboratories in the country to test our Tripolymer® product.
Using the ASTM E-119 procedure, fire tests were performed on many different
standard and custom wall designs. Two identical walls were constructed - one
empty, the other filled with Tripolymer® foam. In every test, the Tripolymer® filled wall
showed an increase of fire ratings from 50 to 150 percent! Tripolymer® does not
melt or vaporize like other foam insulation materials when subjected to the ASTM E-
119 testing. Because of it's unparalleled fire resistance, Tripolymer® has been
approved by many state and local building and fire departments as the only foam-in-
place insulation product to be used to increase fire ratings on existing non-compliant
wall systems.
Does Tripolymer® foam emit any toxic gases during installation or when
subjected to high temperatures?
No. When tested in accordance with the Federal Hazardous Substances Act,
Tripolymer®'s by-products of combustion are significantly less toxic than those
produced by the burning of white pine... a common wood used extensively in
residential home construction. When tested for hazardous materials as listed in the
EPA's Emergency Planning Community Right to Know Act under sections 311 & 312,
test results show no toxic materials were detected, and combined aldehyde were
again undetected at a level of 0.0007%.
Where can Tripolymer® foam be used?
Practically any void that requires insulation can be filled with Tripolymer.
It is ideal for use in:
* CMU block cores
* Interior & Exterior wood and steel stud wall systems
* Pre-cast concrete panels
* Pipe chases
* Filling property line voids between high-rise buildings
* Refrigeration units
* ...And More!
Tripolymer® is the best choice for new and existing residential home insulation.
Tripolymer® foam helps prevent bugs and rodents from living in your walls.
