ORGANIC INSULATION FOAM
Commercial, industrial, and agricultural construction professionals recognize that the most energy-efficient and innovative insulation technology available today is spray foam insulation.
Normally, spray foam insulation is produced from highly toxic materials such as urethane, isocyanates, and phenol-formaldehyde resins. These chemicals can negatively affect human lungs and skin, causing serious illnesses like asthma or chronic skin irritation. They also have a serious negative impact on the environment.
Constellation Z is an innovative spray foam insulation manufactured from materials available in nature in a sustainable and environmentally friendly process. These naturally derived materials can and will replace isocyanates and phenol-formaldehyde resins. Constellation Z is synthesized from sugar from wheat or corn starch.
CARBON-BASED SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
Constellation Z is available in 1lb dispensers for individual use and small repairs and in 30lbs dispensers for larger commercial applications.

CONSTELLATION Z
SPF IS MANUFACTURED USING:
STARCH SUGAR
An organic substitute for traditional polyurethane - methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI).
ORGANIC POLYOLS
An organic sugar substitute - replacement for traditional polyols. Organic polyols based on natural oils enable the foaming process by virtue of their surface-active properties.
ORGANIC CATALYST
A substance that accelerates the reaction,
but is not consumed during the reaction.
FOAMING AGENT
Natural foaming agent - is a material that facilitates the formation of foam.
ORGANIC STABILIZERS
Classes of organic stabilizers that include emulsifiers, thickeners and gelling agents, foam stabilizers, moisturizers, anti-adhesive agents, and coating agents.
PROPELLANT - NATURAL FOAMING AGENT
COMPONENTS ARE MIXED IN A REACTOR
PROPELLANT IS PREPARED AND TRANSPORTED
Constellation Z components are measured by weight using special metering devices, after which they are placed in special reactors. Following the reactor, the materials are pumped to collectors, heaters, and mixers. Then they are fed to an automatic cylinder filling line.
The preparation of the mixture of propellants (natural foaming agents) is carried out using special reactors and overpressure in a separate area. A propellant feed is used with the help of excess pressure to transport natural foaming agents onto the filling line. The main propellants with high saturated vapor pressure are combined with auxiliary ones with low pressure to ensure the working pressure in the cylinder (P = 50 psi).
THE COMPOUND MIXTURE IS FILLED INTO TANKS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE PROPELLANT
The organic foam insulation mixture is then cooled to avoid evaporation losses to 5°C below the boiling point of the propellant, fed into the cylinders, and sealed with a valve.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Constellation Z must be stored in a secured, cool area away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. The recommended temperature to store canisters is 16–32°C. The storage space should be properly ventilated and located away from possible sources of ignition. Improper storage conditions can reduce shelf life and make the components unusable.
SAFETY
According to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), all employers are required to have a written hazard communication program. The OSHA standard includes requirements for container labels, MSDSs, and employee training.
Properly designed ventilation can reduce airborne levels of aerosols, mists, and vapours generated during spray application and can help protect users and people working in adjacent areas. During and after spray application, vapours, mists, particulates and dust from trimming or sanding the foam can linger until the area is ventilated and fully cleaned. Carefully schedule construction activities so that no other workers or people are in the area during spray foam insulation.
OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134) sets forth the requirements for respiratory protection. Supplied air respirators (SAR) are typically used in interior applications. Air-purifying respirators may be adequate in exterior (outdoor) applications when using large amounts of spray foam insulation for extended periods of time.
