C. Installation
Materials shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions through equipment manufactured by C.P. Chemical and by a factory trained/certified insulation contractor with a current certification card.
Product Description
Tripolymer® products are phenolic-based methylene linked synthetic polymers. They are made exclusively by C.P. Chemical Company, Inc. Both the chemical and equipment are patented products. The Tripolymer® system consists of two components: an aqueous resin solution (A) and foaming agent/catalysts (B). These materials are ratioed together with compressed air in specially engineered metering and pumping equipment.
Installation
Tripolymer® can be installed in any cavity through 1” – 2” holes or sprayed into new stud construction. Initial set takes approximately 10 – 30 seconds. Final curing is within 48 – 72 hrs., depending upon thickness. Tripolymer® is a cold setting process independent of ambient temperatures. There is not further expansion once the foam leaves the delivery hose.
Tripolymer® is installed by C.P. Chemical’s network of certified insulation applicators. Specially engineered equipment have been designed by C.P. Chemical Company for the application of Tripolymer® insulation and are required in the installation of the foam.
Thermal Stability
There is no thermal degradation or reduction in R value over time with Tripolymer® products . Most polyisocyanurates, polyurethane, and expanded polystyrenes degrade over time, resulting in lower R values.
NOTE: Tripolymer® is not a polyurethane, polyisocyanurate or expanded polystyrene product. It does not contain any petrochemicals or fire retardant chemicals. Tripoylmer®, when exposed to intensive heat or flame, does not drip or produce smoke.
Limitations
This material should not be used against surfaces with temperature in excess of 212°F for prolonged periods of time. The foam will not support compressive load nor should it be used for flotation, or underground without adequate protection.
Original Equipment Manufacturing
Tripolymer® is an excellent product for continuous process manufacturing and original equipment manufacturing .Computerized equipment for in-plant installations of Tripolymer® is available. This equipment can be adapted for a number of OEW purposes. For additional information, please contact C.P. Chemical.
