About This Program

This presentation reviews Hybrid Sealant Technology and distinguishes the differences between compressed sealant technology, traditional sealant, self-leveling, and gland sealant systems. Applications and areas of use are reviewed for industrial and/or commercial environments. Topics such as fire resistance, design, performance technology, surface preparation, installation techniques, and engineering details are presented. This course will delve into the science behind the exceptional insulating properties of polyurethane foam, and demonstrate how it contributes to a building's overall thermal efficiency. Whether you're an architect, builder, or homeowner, this course will empower you to leverage the full potential of polyurethane foam for sustainable, cost-effective, and high-performance building solutions.

Session Takeaways

• Review the differences between traditional sealant, strip seals, nosing and gland, and hybrid sealant technologies.
• Compare the energy efficiencies between sealant and foam technologies.
• Recognize how fire-rated foam joints simplify the inspection of the fire protection throughout the life of the joint system.
• Identify the sustainable characteristics of foam expansion joints.
