Demilec - SEALECTION^TM 500

What is SEALECTION^TM 500?
The insulation solution that will make you forget your problems. SEALECTION^TM 500 is an open–cell, low density spray foam insulation product that has no ozone destroying gases (HFCs or HCFCs) or formaldehyde. It is environmentally friendly and allows you to achieve an airtight seal. Building scientists have recognized that air leakage has a tremendous impact on the R-value performance of homes and buildings.

With SEALECTION^TM 500, your new or retrofit building is permanently protected, sealed off from wind, pollutants and airborne sound, and resistant to condensation-related problems. The energy savings alone pay down your investment cost many times over. Nothing else comes close - "Foam It and Forget It."

Steel Frame Construction:
Steel frame construction presents a challenge when it comes to proper insulation. SEALECTION^TM 500 meets the challenge and offers additional benefits including ease of installation, soundproofing, improved indoor air quality, elimination of moisture problems and architectural design freedom. Look at the pros and cons of insulating materials and their installation requirements, and you’ll find that SEALECTION^TM 500 has all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks.

As an expandable spray foam, SEALECTION^TM 500 is the easiest to install and the most perfect fill for steel frame buildings. It helps to create a healthy environment. It reduces maintenance costs by eliminating air infiltrated moisture problems while dramatically lowering the size and operating costs of HVAC equipment. "Steel It, Foam It and Forget It."

Air Barrier:
SEALECTION^TM 500 is an effective air barrier that eliminates the transfer of warm, moist air through walls. By stopping that air movement, moisture cannot become trapped inside the wall cavity creating an environment for the growth of mold and mildew. "Foam It, Forget It."

Long Lasting:
Once installed, it does not shrink, settle or disintegrate. Unlike most conventional insulating materials, it maintains its efficiency with no loss of R-value over the life of the building. Most importantly, it does not cause corrosion or rusting of metal buildings.

Noise Reduction:
SEALECTION^TM 500 is an effective barrier to airborne sounds. Its superior fit makes it an ideal sound proofing system, reducing airborne sound transfer through roof, floor and walls, including home theaters. Outside noises such as road traffic, planes and trains stay outside. Inside, there are far fewer complaints about next door, next floor or plumbing wall noises.  

Architecturally Friendly:
By filling every crevice, SEALECTION^TM 500 offers greater architectural freedom in building design. It solves insulation, sound and air infiltrated moisture problems in buildings, while offering solutions for complex insulation applications for industrial and commercial projects.

Indoor Air Quality:
SEALECTION^TM 500seals the building envelope against airborne pollutants. By sealing out dust, allergens, odors and pollutants, SEALECTION^TM 500 allows the air management system to be designed so that the indoor air quality is healthier than outside air. A SEALECTION^TM 500 insulated environment is highly recommended for those suffering from allergies, respiratory problems and chemical sensitivities.

Environmentally Friendly:
SEALECTION^TM 500 contains no ozone-destroying chemicals and its high efficiency enables buildings to be heated or cooled with the least possible consumption of the natural resources required to produce energy.

Reduces Moisture-Related Problems:
By preventing condensation, SEALECTION^TM 500 eliminates sweating metal under the roof deck or airborne moisture inside walls, avoiding problems with mold and mildew. It creates a comfortable draft-free, condensation-free environment in a single application. In addition, the elimination of moisture-related problems such as staining and mold can avoid substantial maintenance and repair costs.

Return On Investment:
By reducing air leakage in a building to an absolute minimum, the size and cost of HVAC equipment can be lowered. Energy savings are often as high as 50% when compared with conventionally insulated buildings. High utility bills, Forget It.
