PU Foam, Polyol & Isocyanate – Understanding the Terms
Many clients commonly refer to polyol and isocyanate together as PU foam. Technically, PU foam is produced when polyol and isocyanate are mixed in the correct ratio, causing the material to expand and form insulation foam.
At Bioflex Insulation Ltd, we supply ready-to-use PU foam spray solutions as well as polyol and isocyanate systems for professional and project-based applications. Our team helps you select the right option based on your insulation requirements, project size, and application method.
PU Foam Spray for Insulation in Kenya & East Africa
The PU foam spray Kenya product from Bioflex Insulation Ltd is a high-quality expanding polyurethane foam used to seal gaps, cracks, and cavities in construction and home improvement projects. It expands on application to create a strong, waterproof, and airtight seal, making it ideal for builders, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and homeowners. As a result, it offers excellent energy efficiency and long-lasting performance in Kenya’s climate
In addition, PU Foam Spray is easy to apply, fast-curing, and designed for both indoor and outdoor use when properly protected from UV exposure.
PU Foam Spray vs Polyol & Isocyanate Systems
Many clients commonly refer to polyol and isocyanate chemicals as “PU foam.” However, PU foam can exist in different forms.
PU foam spray (single-component) is supplied in ready-to-use cans and is ideal for sealing gaps, cracks, and small insulation tasks.
Polyol and isocyanate systems, on the other hand, are mixed on-site to produce expanding polyurethane foam for large-scale insulation projects such as roofs, cold rooms, and industrial applications.
Bioflex Insulation Ltd supplies both solutions and helps clients choose the right PU foam option based on their project requirements.
Who This PU Foam Spray Is Suitable For.
• Roofing and warehouse insulation contractors
• Cold room and refrigeration installers
• Industrial and factory insulation projects
• Commercial buildings and retrofit applications
• Bulk buyers and project-based supply

How to Apply PU Foam Spray
-
Shake the can vigorously for at least 30 seconds.
-
Attach the nozzle or gun adapter.
-
Hold the can upside down and spray into the gap.

Fill only halfway—foam will expand naturally.
-
Allow approximately one hour for curing.
-
Trim excess foam and finish with plaster or paint.
Tip: Lightly misting the surface with water helps improve adhesion and foam expansion.
Safety and Handling
