LaPolla FoamLok™ 2000


FoamLok 2000 is a 2 LB density closed cell foam that has almost no vapor or air permeability. The product in and of itself is considered a vapor barrier by Code.  FL2000 is a 2-part spray applied polyurethane cellular foam plastic.  The product is sprayed on as a liquid, expands, and cures within minutes.  The major differences between FL2000 closed cell foam and FL 500 open cell foam are as follows:

  • Aged R-value of 6.2 per inch of depth (open cell is 3.9 per inch)
  • Vapor Barrier (Open Cell allows vapor to move through in greater amounts)
  • Structural (open cell foam has the consistency of angel food cake)
  • More Expensive (more materials are needed to produce an "R" of Closed Cell)

Although FL2000 is suitable for almost any use, our typical installs of this product include:

  • Commercial coolers and freezers where moisture control is difficult (high vapor drive)
  • Older structures where high R-value is needed in a limited space
  • Crawl spaces where moisture is significant
  • Areas where foam may take a physical beating and strength is needed

Our paper Open vs. Closed Cell Foam is a great source for an even more detailed comparison of the products.  Remember, if you're confused, just contact usWe work with these products every day!
