Foam Comparison and Colour Chart of all Approved Medium Density Sprayed Polyurethane Foams in Canada - November 12, 2010

CUFCA, with the help of its Technical Committee and Board of Directors, has put together a Medium Density Sprayed Polyurethane Foam Closed Cell Foam Comparison and Colour Chart for the use of the industry to ensure accurate and factual information on typical physical properties and R values of various manufacturers products.

The accompanying colour chart provides a visual reference of all the approved colours of these products in Canada to provide building officials, designers and home owners with a reference to identify what product is being installed in their building.

These documents will continually be updated as products change or new products are added.
