Apex Foam Industries introduces their newest innovation for commercial and residential insulation. Earthseal Foam .5 replaces petroleum-based polyols with those found in native, renewable resources: sugar cane and corn. Earthseal Foam insulation’s agricultural content makes it more fire resistant than its competitors. Sprayed polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation has been shown to lower heating and cooling expenses up to 50 percent. These energy efficiency gains reduce the demand and use of foreign oil, thus promoting U.S. grown resources while cutting energy consumption. For more information on Apex Foam’s Earthseal Foam, call 1-800-630-2338 or visit the Web site. |
