Handi-Foam E-84 Class 1 systems are two-component, chemically cured foam systems. Two-Component foam systems consist of an "A" side and a "B" side. These two components mix in the nozzle of the dispensing unit, and the resulting foam cures much more quickly than one-component foams. Handi-Foam Two-Component Foam expands at a ratio of 8:1 and carries an R-Value of 6 to 7 per inch (2.54cm). Cured foam can be trimmed, sanded and/or painted.

Typical Applications Include:
- Cold/storage refrigeration
- Petrochemical insulation
- Flash over protection
- Sound deadening
- Pipe chases and Fire Systems
- Steel building insulation
- Any other application where foam insulation is used that you would like an E-84 rated product.
Handi-Foam E-84 systems meet or exceed the following Classifications, Codes and Standards:
Fomo manufactures numerous flame rated polyeurethane products. A flame rated foam product passes fire test procedures developed by accredited organizations such as ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) or UL(Underwriters Labratories.)
Since polyurethane is an organic material and like other organic building materials, it will burn.
Therefore, all of the appropriate test methods developed to rate PU foam consist of the application of an open flame to the PU sample, and the subsequent measurement of how far the flame spreads across the sample.
Some of these tests require that the amount of combustion smoke generated be measured along with the flame spread. One especially difficult test, ASTM E-162, combines an open flame with a radiant heat source.

The 2009 economic stimulus package, known as The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R. 1), promises large cost savings for residential and manufactured home builders.
Tax Credit for Consumers:
For consumers that are adding insulation to a pre existing home, the federal tax credit for installing insulation is 30% of the total product purchase price. The maximum potential tax credit for 2009 and 2010 is $1500. In order for a job to be applicable for the tax credit, the primary goal of the installed insulation should be to insulate. The product must carry a manufacturer's certification and the insulation must be expected to last for at least 5 years, or carry a 2 year warranty.
Solution:
Fomo Products, Inc offers an expansive product mix that meets each of the requirements outlined for the above tax credit. The Handi-Brand products, specifically the Handi-Brand Spray Foam systems, are most commonly used as insulation, to stop air infiltration, and to seal the building envelope. These foam options help to improve indoor air quality, lower heating and cooling costs, and drastically reduce energy consumption.
Tax Credit for Home Builders:
New residential and manufactured home builders are eligible for a $2,000 tax credit. In order to receive the tax credit the newly constructed home must generate 50% energy savings for heating and cooling over the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and supplements or Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards.
Furthermore, at least 1/5 of the energy savings must come from building envelope improvements.
Solution:
The use of Fomo’s spray foam systems in critical spaces within the home will optimize energy savings by tightening and sealing potential areas where air infiltration occurs. Some of these critical spaces are attics, crawl spaces, rim joists, windows, doors, and wall cavities. By applying foam to these areas, the builder is able to test for noticeable energy savings as well as receive the tax credit for installing insulation and sealing the building envelope.
