Polyurethane Foam (PU) in Kenya and East Africa

Polyurethane Foam (PU) in Kenya and East Africa is a high-performance insulation and sealing material widely used in construction, manufacturing, refrigeration, and industrial applications. It is known for its lightweight structure, excellent thermal insulation, soundproofing properties, durability, and resistance to moisture. PU foam comes in different forms, including PU spray foam, PU sealants, and PU rigid boards, making it highly versatile for both domestic and industrial projects.

In Kenya and East Africa (Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and beyond), PU foam is one of the fastest-growing insulation and sealing solutions due to the region’s increasing demand for energy efficiency, industrial development, and modern construction systems.

How to Use PU Foam

Using PU foam is simple but requires correct handling:

For the two liquids A and B, a P.U Foam sprayer is used. The liquids are poored in the spray tank which ensures that they mix at the end of the spraying nozzels. 

For P.U Foam cans we follow the following:

  1. Shake the can well before use.

  2. Attach the nozzle or applicator gun.

  3. Apply directly into the gap or surface (PU foam expands, so apply moderately).

  4. Allow curing for 1–2 hours.

  5. Trim excess foam and finish with paint, plaster, or sealing material.
