Egypt’s harsh climate – scorching summers, cool winters, and occasional rainfall – demands robust building solutions. Hot Applied Polyurethane Foam (PUR) emerges as a superior choice, offering unmatched thermal insulation, air sealing, and structural strength. Applied as a liquid that expands into a rigid foam, it creates a seamless, high-performance barrier perfect for Egyptian roofs, walls, and industrial facilities.

Why Hot Applied PUR Foam Dominates in Egypt

1. Extreme Thermal Resistance (R-Value):
   With one of the highest R-values per inch (R-6.5+), PUR foam drastically reduces heat transfer. This slashes cooling costs by up to 50% in Egyptian summers – a critical economic and comfort advantage.

2. Seamless Air & Moisture Barrier:
   Expands to fill every crack, eliminating air leaks that cause energy loss and dust infiltration. Its closed-cell structure inherently resists moisture vapor, preventing condensation and mold – a key concern in Egypt’s humid coastal areas.

3. Structural Reinforcement:
   Adds rigidity to roofs and walls, enhancing wind resistance and building longevity.

4. Long-Term Durability:
   Resists degradation from UV exposure (when coated) and temperature fluctuations, outperforming traditional insulations like fiberglass or EPS.

Critical Applications in the Egyptian Context

• Flat Roofs (Commercial/Residential): Ideal for Egypt’s ubiquitous concrete roofs, providing insulation and a waterproof substrate.

• Walls & Facades: Creates a continuous insulation layer, crucial for reducing heat gain through walls.

• Cold Storage & Warehouses: Maintains consistent temperatures for food/pharma logistics.

• Industrial Facilities: Insulates pipes, tanks, and equipment in factories.

The Imperative of Waterproofing: Enter IMPERMAX LY

While PUR foam resists moisture, adding a dedicated waterproofing membrane is non-negotiable for long-term protection in Egypt, especially on roofs exposed to rain or occasional flooding.

• IMPERMAX LY Liquid Waterproofing Membrane: This high-performance, cold-applied elastomeric coating is the perfect partner for PUR foam. Applied directly over the cured foam layer, it provides:

  • A seamless, flexible, UV-resistant waterproof barrier.

  • Enhanced protection against ponding water and mechanical damage.

  • Long-term weatherproofing for the underlying foam.

The 1-2 Punch:

1. Hot Applied PUR Foam: Superior insulation, air sealing, and substrate.

2. IMPERMAX LY Membrane: Ultimate waterproofing and weather protection.
   This system ensures decades of performance in Egypt’s demanding environment.

Why ONLY Certified Applicators Matter

Applying Hot PUR foam is highly technical. Incorrect mixing, temperature control, or thickness leads to failure:

• Poor Adhesion: Delamination and water ingress.

• Inconsistent Foam: Weak spots, reduced R-value.

• Safety Risks: Improper handling of heated materials.
