Abstract: The invention generally pertains to the use of polyurethane foam blown by at least one blowing agent having a boiling point at atmospheric pressure of between ˜5° C. to ˜50° C., including miscible blends thereof, which passes all United States Coast Guard Title 33, Part 183 specifications wherein the buoyant force of the froth polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam is not reduced more than 5% after exposure to being immersed in a fully saturated gasoline vapor atmosphere, in reference fuel B, in reference oil No. 2, and in a 5% solution of Na3PO4.

Abstract: A metering component for a two-component dispensing gun includes a first metering rod and a second metering rod. The first metering rod includes a first tip section at one end that terminates into a first intermediate sealing section. The first intermediate sealing section terminates at a first base section at an opposite end of the first tip section. The second metering rod includes a second tip section at one end terminating in a second intermediate sealing section, wherein the second intermediate sealing section terminates at a second base section at an opposite end of the second tip section. The first metering rod is interconnected to the second metering rod at the first base section and the second base section.

Abstract: The invention described herein generally pertains to the use of low boiling point, low vapor pressure blowing agents with froth polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams to achieve superior cavity filling than when using conventional higher vapor pressure or more ozone-depleting blowing agents.

Abstract: A variably tensionable check valve with a first end and a second end that includes a housing, a tension adjuster, a resiliently deformable elastic member, and a flow restriction member biased in a closed position. The housing includes a first portion, a second portion, and first and second passageways with a transition portion therebetween. The second portion includes at least one peripherally extending raised rib and a second internal passageway. The surface area of a cross-section of the first internal passageway is greater than the surface area of a cross-section of the second internal passageway. The tension adjuster, the elastic member, and the flow restriction member are located within the first internal passageway, wherein the tension adjuster secures the elastic member and the flow restriction member within the first internal passageway, and wherein rotational movement of the tension adjuster modifies the biasing force of the elastic member.

Abstract: A process for cost-effectively and rapidly insulating a desired surface with spray foam insulation is described which includes the application of a polyurethane foam dispensed through heated conduits into a dispensing gun having a nozzle with essentially planar divergent lips having a triangular prism opening, the lips of the nozzle diverging at an angle of between about 5 and 35° inclusive, more preferably between 8 to 15° inclusive, most preferably 10 to 12° inclusive, thereby achieving application rates which are in excess of 70 Ft2/min, and optimally in excess of 100 Ft2/min.
