CONTRACTOR / APPLICATOR BENEFITS
Exceptional Sprayability. Superior formulation provides consistent, forgiving,
user friendly foam with predictable yields and less gun clogging.
Winter and Summer Formulations. Sprays in any climate; expands your spray
window in colder temperatures.
Less Viscous. Reduces wear and tear on equipment.
Lower Odor. Improves work environment.
Excellent Adhesion. Ideal for use on all types of substrates.
OWNER / SPECIFIER BENEFITS
Energy-Efficient. Seamless air barrier reduces uncontrolled air leakage,
lowering energy costs for building owner and homeowner.
Strong. Improves overall structural strength of wall and roof systems.
Healthy. Reduces condensation, moisture and mold, improving occupant
comfort, health and safety.
Responsible. Higher aged R-values than conventional insulation. Reduces energy
consumption, and contains no ozone-depleting chemicals.
Quiet. Acts as a sound barrier to help block airborne noise.

Gaco 183M-CAN Closed Cell Foam Product Data Sheet
Gaco 183M-CAN is a two component HFC-blown (zero ozone-depleting) liquid spray system that cures to a medium-density rigid cellular polyurethane insulation
material. Gaco 183M-CAN contains polyols derived from naturally renewable oils, post-consumer recycled plastics, and pre-consumer recycled materials.
This closed cell foam is designed to provide: excellent thermal performance; air impermeable insulation; and, an integral part of an air barrier assembly. The finished
material meets or exceeds the requirements of CAN/ULC-705.1. The cured material is pewter in colour.

APPLICATION
To ensure optimum performance, a minimum pass thickness of 1.9 cm (3/4”) is recommended with the maximum not to exceed 5.1 cm (2”) per pass. To obtain
optimum results substrate temperature should be within the ranges as stated below. All substrates must be dry at the time of application. Do not apply to wood
surfaces with a moisture content of above 18%.
