  • POUR IN PLACE FOAM INSULATION FOR BUILDING COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20230383550
    Abstract: A building component manufacturing method may include providing an insulated structural component of a building. The insulated structural component may include a frame comprising a plurality of outer components coupled together to define an outer periphery of one or more sections. At least one of the sections may include a cavity. The method may include applying a pour-in-place insulation material within the cavity to insulate the component. The pour-in-place insulation material may transition from a liquid state to a solid state to form a first layer of insulation within the cavity. The method may include monitoring a fill level within the cavity while applying the pour-in-place insulation material. The method may include controlling a flow rate of the pour-in-place insulation material based on the monitoring of the fill level within the cavity.

  • MULTIPLE IMMEDIATE PASS APPLICATION OF HIGH THICKNESS SPRAY FOAMS
    Publication number: 20230330699
    Abstract: A method of applying a closed cell spray foam insulation may include spraying a first layer of a closed cell spray foam insulation into a wall cavity. A B-side mixture of the closed cell spray foam insulation may include a polyol blend having a polyester polyol having a functionality of at least about 3.0 and a polyether polyol. The method may include spraying at least one additional layer of the closed cell spray foam insulation against the first layer within 5 minutes of spraying the first layer.
