Spray Polyurethane Foam
(SPF)
Introduction
Spray Foam
Adhesive
Roof System Components
Roof Deck-wood, concrete, metal,
wood fiber
 Spray Foam-2.5 to 3.0 pound per
cu. Ft., 40 psi compressive strength
 Elastomeric Base Coat
 Elastomeric Top Coat
 Polyurea Elastomer Coatings

What is SPF ?
Two compounds are proportioned,
pressurized, heated, mixed and
spray applied to a target
 The two liquids rapidly foam up to
create a rigid polyurethane foam in
a few seconds
 The foam thickness is controlled by
the spray application technique

SPF Basics
If paint will stick, so will foam
 Clean, dry and sound condition
 SPF is not going to change the Fire
Rating of what is already in place
 Pick the correct foam and coating
system for the requirements of the
roof

Does Foam Work?
NRCA’s National Roofing
Foundation was funded to
investigate: over 140 roofs,
check all US climates, check
acrylic, silicones, and
urethane coated roofs, check
aggregate surfaced roofs,
compile independent data,
publish the data and
establish and or verify
existing performance of SPF
roofs.
National Roofing Foundation Study
Physical Properties of Long Term
SPF are good
 Polyurea, Acrylics, Urethane,
Silicone, & Aggregate Surfaced SPF
Roofs Work
 Ages from 31 years to 4 years old

ASU Performance Based
Studies Group
A study of over 40 different
contractors
Roofs that are up to 30 years old
92% Average Customer Satisfaction
Each Contractor is rated and their

The Roofing System That Can
Stand Up To High Wind Disasters
This building survived the path of
destruction because it was sealed
with Spray Polyurethane Foam.
Hurricane Resistant Roofing
These are shots of a project done by
one of our Qualified Applicators. Out
of Seventeen buildings in the complex,
the lone survivor was the only one
with SPF sprayed directly to the deck,
the remaining 16 buildings lost their
roof membranes. This project was a
total of 120,000 sq. ft.
This “emergency dry-in” was started
on a Saturday morning and completed
by Tuesday afternoon, even with
several shutdowns due to continuing
rain showers.
Animal Rescue League in Florida before
Hurricane Frances.
Monolithic Domes Protect 30 Humans and
800+ Pets from Hurricane Frances
When not busy caring for the
animals, staff members
watched Frances through the
domes' curved windows,
made of a double layer of
heavy plastic. "If we didn't
have those windows, we
would not have known that
there was a hurricane out
there," Valente said. "That's
how quiet it was inside. This
storm was incredible to watch
-- the horizontal rain and
trees bent at 90-degree
angles..
During Hurricane Frances, Valente said that he stayed
in the domes during the entire storm. "I felt perfectly safe
-- experienced no stress other than worrying about what
was going on outside the domes. But inside, I never once felt that
we were at risk."
