Because spray foam insulation is a sealant, it is an excellent material for sound deadening, as it literally seals out sounds and blocks their path to the ear.
Is open cell spray foam a good sound barrier?
Open-cell sprayed-foam formulations—which are lower density and often less expensive per board foot than closed-cell counterparts—are well-suited to sound-deadening, with high expansion properties to quickly and simply fill voids.
How long does it take spray foam to cure?
about 8 to 24 hours
Spraying a mist of water on the substrate or/and between layers of foam can speed up the curing process. Typically, it can take between 5 and 60 minutes for the foam to become tack-free. Full cure may be reached in a time range of about 8 to 24 hours, depending on the product and site conditions.
