The greatest challenge is Education.
We designed this high content, high-technology website to address that challenge. If we expect homeowners and homebuilders to utilize the latest, most cost-saving technologies to properly insulate and save energy, it is then our obligation to provide the tool that makes this educational process accessible and convenient.
With an emphasis on a tight thermal envelope and quality control, our projects have improved indoor air quality (IAQ), better acoustics and lower operating costs. We also offer hybrid insulation applications that combine different types of insulation for maximum performance and value.
Polyseal Insulation (PSI) would like the opportunity to earn your business on your current or future project(s). Our pledge is stand out from our competitors with knowledge, pricing, quality and specifications.
We currently are the provider of insulation services to many respected names in residential and commercial construction. These include Builders, General Contractors, HVAC companies, Architects and Engineering firms who have hired us and stay loyal because we have earned their trust and confidence in our level of service.
CPI Releases Low-Pressure Spray Foam Guidance Video
WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 14, 2011) – The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) has released a new video for professional installers to illustrate good safety practices for low-pressure, two-component spray polyurethane foam (SPF) application. The video, the latest of the free resources offered by CPI, is available to view or download from the CPI Spray Polyurethane Foam Health and Safety website, www.spraypolyurethane.org.
The video, “Working Safely with Low-Pressure Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation,” runs approximately nine minutes and is targeted to weatherization professionals and spray foam contractors applying low-pressure SPF. It includes information about the chemicals used to make SPF, personal protective equipment (PPE), appropriate places to install SPF, job site preparation, cleanup, and safety practices. The video complements the extensive high-pressure SPF health and safety training program and other free resources CPI has made available to those using spray foam.
“Spray foam is an excellent insulation material that offers many great benefits. CPI and our members want to help make quality information about appropriate safety practices readily available. This video and CPI’s other free resources are a reflection of the industry’s commitment to product stewardship, health and safety. We offer a growing library of information that can help spray foam and weatherization professionals better recognize and employ good safety practices,” said Lee Salamone, senior director of CPI.
In addition to the video, CPI has recently issued an updated guidance document on fire safety, called “Fire Safety Guidance: Working with Polyurethane Foam Products During New Construction, Retrofit and Repair,” which is available under the “Free Resources” section of www.polyurethane.org. This guidance document focuses on safety precautions during “hot work” at construction sites.
