Tripolymer CMU / Block Fill Insulation
The Tripolymer system for masonry block core-fill is the most cost-effective way to increase the thermal performance of block construction. The total thermal resistance is more than doubled that of conventional block insulation products. Tripolymer block fill can be easily and efficiently installed in new or existing masonry construction, either during construction or upon completion by a pressure filling the cavity.
Tripolymer meets the mandatory requirements and codes for heat loss factor (U value) for wall structures adopted by many State and Federal Agencies. It is important to note that the heat loss is reduced through the mortar joints as well as the block. This is not the case with block inserts. Another plus is that Tripolymer is more cost-effective than core inserts or pour-in products.
Injection foam is also the perfect solution for brick veneer applications. Tripolymer can be injected between the brick veneer and cement blocks during construction. The application hose is dropped to the bottom of the cavity and withdrawn as the foam fills the cavity. As soon as the cavity is filled, it can be sealed. The foam reduces infiltration and fills all voids and cracks while easily flowing around all obstructions and is considerably less expensive than rigid types of insulation.
