Latex vs. Polyurethane Foam
MOISTURE ABSORPTION EXPERIMENT**
Aerosol foam was applied into separate 1-1/2" x 12"
(38 mm x 305 mm) aluminum channels … one filled with latex foam
(white) and the other with GREAT STUFF PRO™ Window & Door
polyurethane Insulating Foam Sealant (yellow). The foam samples
were then allowed to cure for seven days.
The GREAT STUFF PRO™ Window & Door yellow sample
exhibited no signs of water absorption or foam disintegration.

remained unaffected. No sponging or wicking was observed.
GREAT STUFF PRO™ Window & Door continued to hold its
original shape and remained fully bonded to the aluminum channel.
The cross cut section clearly demonstrates the water resistance of
GREAT STUFF PRO™ Window & Door foam. (See 4 above.)

The fully cured foam samples were
inserted halfway into a beaker filled
with purple dyed water.
Samples remained submerged
for 24 hours.
Samples were removed and
allowed to dry for seven additional
days in a vertical position.
Samples were cut along a vertical cross section
to assess the amount of absorption, wicking,
moisture retention and foam shrinkage.
