Two-Component
Polyurethane foams of two-component (or froth foam units) come in separate containers. They are suitable for large areas of spraying or filling in large gaps and voids. The tanks can be operated from an upright position. Two-Component Standard Foam can be used for sealing and insulation jobs. Two-Component Foam can be chemically cured. Each Foam pack contains both an “A” and “B” component. The foam “A” and its curing agents “B” can be mixed using the provided dispensing tool and cure faster than Single-Component Foam.
Two-component polyurethane foams with two components expand faster when they are chemically cured. They are suitable for spray-on applications and filling cavities, and filling holes. They have an R-value (aged) of about 6.0 inches.
Adhesives
Spray polyurethane foam can be used in commercial roofing and manufactured housing industries as an adhesive.
SPF is used for adhering EPDM membranes and board stock insulation to different roofing substrates. The SPF is used to adhere the board stock to roof decks and then the membrane to the board stock. Spray-applied SPF reduces labor and time. It provides insulation and a strong bond, making it an excellent choice for wind uplift ratings.
SPF can also be used in manufactured housing. This adhesive is used for attaching ceiling panels to structural framing. This adhesive offers many benefits to the builder: speed, increased strength, lower costs, and other advantages.
Cold Storage
Spray applied polyurethane foam insulation (SPF) can affect the performance of cold storage facilities. This is due to the interaction between the components of the building structure and the atmosphere outside. A successful cold storage facility will require a well-designed structure, detailed specifications, contractor review, material selection, and the compatibility and placement of all components.
Discuss all aspects of cold storage with the contractor/designer to get written confirmation of their agreement/opinion. This includes but is not limited to material selection, moisture vapor transmission, load design, and expansion joints. Flashing details and floor, wall, and ceiling preparations, as well as pull-down schedules.

Different types of cold storage facilities
The primary function of refrigerator warehouses is to store frozen or previously processed food at a constant temperature of between -40C (-40degF) and 10C (50degF). These warehouses are usually one-room buildings. You can store packaged goods on pallets and food racks.
Multi-functional structures process meats, poultry, and other food products. These plants are typically made up of multiple rooms with different functions, operating temperatures, and humidity conditions.
Multi-room distribution centers house packaged dry goods, frozen foods, and fresh produce. These centers can also contain specialty rooms like banana or ice cream holding areas.
You can convert existing facilities to another purpose, such as a cooler converted into a freezer or an addition to an existing building.
