MD5 Duct Sealing System Vs DIY Expanding Foam
The use of expanding foam in construction & mainatenance projects in all industries has increased over time, but it faces major problems when applied wrong, or designed into a project where the foam specs doesnt match the requirements of the project. In this BLOG, we'll cover the reasons why expanding foam fails when sealing cable ducts and what you can do about it.
The expansion of polyurethane foam (PU) as a construction material has increased the use and versatility of this product. PU can be used in walls, roofs, ceilings, floors and more to provide insulation and structural support. The engineering challenges inherent in designing with PU have been overcome by technological advances that allow for low-density foam products that are easy to install on-site.
The expanding foam is an ok product for sealing small gaps, filling voids and cracks, and insulating. That's it, nothing more. It's also used as an adhesive to attach insulation on walls or ceilings and sealing cable ducts. However, most expanding foams are made of poor quality polyurethane, not providing the needed properties for a sealant or adhesive.
We'll start with some information about polyurethane DIY foam comparing to our MD5 Duct sealing Resin.
You can see clearly our resin is far superior, and the reason why DIY foams fail over time.
If you're looking to seal your ducts, we strongly recommend that you hire a professional. If not, you should never use DIY expanding foam like what's shown in the image below because it is messy and can create more problems than it solves.
However, if you have any questions about which type of sealing system might be best for your particular project or specific requirements - contact one of our experts today!
