The Question is:
Can the average farmer do this
himself OR is a professional applicator
needed?
We’ve found that most broiler houses that need retrofitting are not constructed with sufficient access to
allow most professional spray foam application rigs to enter the facility.
Therefore, we’ve been actively working on programs for the various sized houses that one could rent,
or buy, the equipment necessary to apply closed cell sprayed polyurethane foam and purchase
refillable & returnable containers of foam product pre-dyed for your poultry needs.
Multiple sizes-Returnable cylinders-Short learning curve-Maximum Results?

• Sunny day metal roofs reach 150°F/66°C
• Ventilation systems cannot handle heat loads from
non-insulated roofs
• Radiant roof heat affects birds before ventilation can
comes into play in many instances

5. Closed-Cell Foam Insulation
There is no better insulating material that can seal your broiler house
from air and moisture intrusion, save on costly utility bills,
strengthen your house, and protect your poultry investment from
dangerous mold, airborne pollutants, and allergens than Closed Cell
Spray Foam insulation.
Benefits of Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation
Stops air and moisture infiltration
Saves on energy costs
Adds strength to the building structure
It is permanent and will not sag
Keeps dust and pollen out
Reduces capacity requirements, maintenance and wear of HVAC
equipment

12. The Product…..
For clarification, all SPF products are bio-based. However, whether they contain soy-based or sucrose-based
polyols to create the reaction necessary to form the polyurethane foam, a significant portion of the total
formulation in all SPF products on the market today is petroleum-based. Some foam systems even
substitute water as their blowing agent rather than HCF or HCFC gases, giving them an added degree of green
content and renewability.
There is a popular misconception that the bio-containing
foams (whether soy or sugar) are more substantially green,
when, in fact the final polymers are still mostly petroleum
based.
However, the USDA has offered the criteria that if a material is at least 9% renewable content, the claim of being
“bio-based” is valid.
14. Result-Oriented Application
1. Poor quality foam EQUALS an
upset customer which translates
to a technical service nightmare
among other things.
2. Poor yield, or more appropriately,
yielding less than a customer pays
for EQUALS.
3. The adjacent picture shows 2
examples of a failure to control
the temperature of your foam.

educating, training, & supporting
the customer on the importance
of temperature & ratio control *see next page for further description.
with a strong focus on safety.

17. FACTS:
• It takes as little as 4 hours for ANY of the available DIY
Kits to cool down to the point where the product performs
poorly.
• It takes up to 4 days to reheat to optimum temperature.
• A board foot (BFT) is a square foot of foam that is one inch
thick.
• Refillable kits are sold according to the board foot (BFT).
• Industry professionals typically charge $.80-1.00 per board
foot to apply closed cell foam for their clients.
• The Junction Crew promotes Returnable Dispensing Kits
include safety equipment & a fresh air system and will cost
.75- .85 per board foot or less on larger applications.

19. Do it yourself?
The Junction Crew, LLC is one of a growing number of environmental advocates in the
United States that cater to the use of refillable containers. A manufacturer’s
representative for Polyfoam Products, The Junction Crew is your support conduit
devoted to environmentally applying SPF products. Why is this important?
Spray foam insulation is a plural component chemical mixture that is formed when
these two chemicals meet and react at the gun. The result is the inert product that
we know as Sprayed polyurethane foam insulation (SPF).
However, the A-side or Isocyanate, is a particularly nasty product by itself that
vigorously reacts with water and throwing away a container that held, or still most
often holds Isocyanate goes against the very principle of environmental
stewardship.
The Junction Crew promotes the use of refillable tanks through several National
Suppliers of refillable spray foam products and provides training & support.
