Open cell foam is a rubber-like product made by incorporating an inflating agent, such as sodium bicarbonate, into the rubber compound; this agent gives off a gas, which expands the rubber during vulcanization. Foam is usually classified as “open cell” when more than half of its cells are open.

Where is open cell foam used?

Open cell and closed cell foam insulation have very different expansion rates. Open cell spray foam has a very high expansion rate, sometimes as much as 100 times over. This makes it an ideal option for homes because it gets in the nooks and crannies in attics, crawl spaces, open wall cavities, and rim joists.

What is closed cell resin?

Croslite™ Is a proprietary closed cell resin material which is not plastic or rubber. It has an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material which was developed for maximum cushioning. The closed cell properties resist odour, inhibit bacterial and fungal growth and are non-toxic.
