Flotation Foam is a polyurethane 2 part foam that, when mixed in equal parts and poured in place this foam will soundproof, insulate, or provide extra flotation. 2 Lb. density. Flotation range is 100-120 lbs./qt. and 480-600 lbs./gal. This is expandable foam that is recommended for void filling in nonstructural applications. This product can be poured underneath decks and inside cavities where a lightweight flotation foam is needed to provide buoyancy. This foam has been tested in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard Regulation # 33 CFR 183.114 . This foam is approximately 95-98% closed cell which resists absorbing water, however continuous water submersion can eventually lead to loss of buoyancy over a period of years.

Floatation Foam

By Patrick from Traverse City, MI on 6/26/2008

Pros:

Easy to Use

Describe Yourself:

Recreational

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The floatation foam is easy to use but make sure you have a big enough hole to put it in because once it starts to foam up you could have a problem getting it in a small hole. Use good rubber gloves because you do not want to get it on you. Get everything ready to go together before you put the foam in so it will be trapped and forced to go where you want it to go. Make sure you know how much area you are filling because you do not want to over fill or it can do damage. You are better off starting with less and then adding more once the first pour has expanded.

Excellent price for this item.

By RedTravelMaster from Dale City, Virginia on 5/29/2008

Pros:

Easy to Use, Protects Well

Cons:

Messy

Best Uses:

FillingVoid Spaces, Meeting USCG Requirements

Describe Yourself:

Beginner

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent price for this item, as compared to WestMarine and other suppliers. Two part floation foam is recommended by professional boat builders as the best material to meet USCG requirements. This foam resists absorbing water, creates a higher bouyancy per cubic inch than most other materials, and also helps strengthen the hull and deaden sound.In my project, two - two gallon kits was adequate to fill the below deck void space of my 18 foot Walk-Through runabout, single deep V hull.[...]
