The spray application of K-13 eliminates
voids, gaps and compressions that occur with prefabricated
insulations. This monolithic coating results in K-13's
outstanding field performance. K-13 utilizes a patented
adhesive system which adheres to virtually any substrate
including glass, urethane, Styrofoam, wood, metal and
concrete.
The
patented adhesive utilized in the installation of K-13
adheres to virtually all common construction materials
including: metal, wood, concrete, urethane, polystyrene
and glass. Some surfaces may require pretreatment prior
to installing K-13. This unique adhesive provides unequaled
strength allowing applications of 3/4 inch to over 5 inches
without mechanical support. This capability provides R-values
from 3 to over 19. K-13 is also available in a variety
of standard colors, white, black, light gray, tan, beige,
and dark gray, and can be special ordered to match any
color chip. Providing a durable carpet like texture K-13
is ideal for below grade parking areas, gymnasiums, manufacturing
facilities and metal buildings, to name a few.
K-13
also reduces reverberation and noise levels. The result
is a more comfortable working environment providing greater
utilization of the building. Overall noise level reductions
of over 8-15 dB have been obtained in many different industrial
applications. This high acoustical absorption assists
in meeting OSHA noise level requirements.
The
unique acoustical properties of K-13 also substantially
reduce sound transfer between walls and floors. This is
ideal where offices or concrete rooms are located adjacent
to noisy areas. Acoustical enclosures can also be fabricated
and sprayed inside with K-13 to isolate loud machinery.
STC ratings from 30 to over 50 can be easily achieved
with K-13.
The
adhesive used to apply K-13 provides a strong, durable
and resilient bond. This unique combination of properties
provides remarkable durability. K-13 will resist impact
and abrasion without the cracking or spalling typical
to many cementitious or plaster based materials.

SonaSpray"fc"
is a spray applied acoustical texture designed for a wide
range of project types. SonaSpray"fc" provides
an attractive, high performance solution to acoustical
and lighting design objectives in both new construction
and renovation projects. Typical installations include:
schools, churches, passenger terminals, libraries, cafeterias,
offices, hotels and condominiums. SonaSpray"fc"
is available in White and Arctic White. Specially matched
colors are also available as a design option.
SonaSpray"fc"
is spray applied and will conform to any surface configuration
such as barrel vaults, concrete "T", corrugated
decks, pan construction and other complex surfaces. The
high performance adhesive will bond to virtually all common
construction materials including sheet rock, plaster,
wood, metal and concrete. Some surfaces (such as water
stained ceilings, wood and oxidized metal) will require
sealing to prevent migratory staining of the SonaSpray"fc".

of properties provides remarkable durability. SonaSpray"fc"
will resist impact and abrasion without cracking or spalling,
typical to many cementitious or plaster based materials.
In areas where even high abrasion resistance may be desirable,
SonaSpray"fc" Dura-K may be specified. This
provides even greater bond and compressive strength without
reducing the acoustical performance. SonaSpray"fc"
can be painted with water based latex or acrylic paint
if desired, without appreciably reducing the N.R.C. value.

Celbar
is a blend of specially prepared cellulose fibers, organic
in nature, treated with adhesive and fire resistant chemicals.
When sprayed in place, the interlocking fibers result in
a mass which produces excellent sound and thermal properties.
Celbar
is pneumatically spray-applied in wall and floor/ceiling
cavities to form a monolithic coating. This process seals
cracks and holes in the wallboard, around plumbing and electrical
outlets, vent ducts and other irregularities. There are
no compressed areas or voids to allow sound leaks, R value
reductions, or air infiltration.
Celbar
provides superior sound transfer control demanded by building
designers, owners and occupants. Celbar assemblies perform
closer to lab tested STC ratings in the field than do other
conventional batt and sound board systems. This is due to
the complete coverage and the sealing action of Celbar.
Celbar's
R value of 3.8 per inch allows you to design exterior wall
systems with higher total R values. However, R value alone
is not the only measure of a product's thermal effectiveness.
To obtain maximum thermal efficiency, air infiltration must
be minimized. Sprayed in place Celbar conforms to any substrate,
around pipes, obstructions, and over cracks, reducing air
infiltration and forming a highly efficient and effective
thermal barrier. It can be sprayed to virtually any exterior
stud or furred cavity, and in most cases the wall can be
closed up the same day.
In
a series of tests, five identical buildings were monitored
for KWH usage over an eleven month period. One building
utilized sprayed cellulose on the walls, and the other four
utilized fiberglass batt insulation. Upon conclusion, the
cellulose-insulated building saved 32% of the KWH usage
of the other buildings. |
