E-mail: Don Duffy, CEO info@emegabuild.com Website: http://www.emegabuild.com/ Re: EMEGA Biopolymers Dear Mr. Duffy: I have investigated urethane and icynene foams and am very interested in your product. Please answer these questions/requests: - Does the soyfoam have UL approval? EPA approval?
- Please email me the material safety data sheet.
- What independent lab did the fire tests and do you have any certificate we could use to submit to the Fire Marshall when filing our plans for plan check?
- We have a number of possible applications:
- In-wall foam in housing, manufacturing plants, and vehicles.
- Exterior foam on the outside, above ground biodiesel tanks exposed to the sun and weather. What covering would be needed? Fiberglass, Shotcrete? Other?
- Does the foam come in one, two and three pound densities?
- Ponds. We will build algae ponds, using a trapezoidal profile, 10' x 500'. We will need to foam the bottom and sides of the trench. An even, uniform layer about two to three inches would be needed. Do you have any materials, videos, etc., which detail how the foam is applied and how the thickness can be maintained (does not need to be exact). After the foam is cured, is there some mechanical means to shave off the high spots?
- Pond curbs. The ponds will be covered with polycarbonate crystal panels about 18' long an arch. The distal ends of the panels will rest on a curb/stem wall about 18” out of the ground which in turn will rest on a footing about 1' x 1'. The present design calls for poured concrete in a form or a slip-form machine. If the density of the foam is sufficient, it could substitute for either or both the footing and the stem wall. For instance, if we poured a concrete footing, we could extend the splines to the concrete when the panels were installed. The splines will join the lateral edges of the panels at about four foot intervals along the run of the curbs. The aluminum splines would be heavy rectangular tubing and about 1” thick and about 2” to 3” wide. These would bear most of the weight. The distal edge of the panels would then nest in a boot which is a seal and a catchment for rain water. The boot would seal the distal end of the panels to the top of the foam stem wall.
- Our plan is to build ponds covering about 1445 acres about 20 feet apart laterally. Thus we will need a cost effective solution for the curbs and footings.
- Do you offer an installation “kit” whereby we could mount the kit and supply tanks and compressor/water supply on the trailer for moving along the ponds as we shoot the sides and bottom of the pond trench.
- We will want prices, shipping and availability information for delivery to the major overseas port nearest (and least expensive) to the source of supply for the foam.
- Have you considered locating a branch in Argentina? Or the EU? I would be interest in becoming a dealer/distributor/supplier in a major port city on the east coast of Argentina.
