When it comes to cold storage, the smallest details can make a world of difference. Ensuring a fully airtight seal from the beginning to the end of the supply chain is absolutely crucial, and it’s no small task. One tiny gap in insulation can ruin your valuable goods. Finding the right insulation is a must for cold storage, every step of the way.
How do you find the right insulation for your cold storage needs? VersiFoam® is here to help. In this blog, we’ll explain how to find the right spray foam insulation for cold storage management and illustrate why VersiFoam® System 15 is the industry’s top choice.
How To Find the Right Spray Foam for Cold Storage
When searching for a spray form insulation for cold storage, there are two key numbers to look for. The first is the PCF (pounds per cubic foot). This number measures density; for spray foam insulation, it measures how heavy the foam is for its volume.
A high PCF number is best for cold storage, because a high PCF means that the foam is dense, moisture resistant, and – most importantly – a good insulator. The VersiFoam® System 15 spray foam insulation kit has a closed-cell formulation with a PCF of 1.75, which is notably higher than open-cell foams that sit at around 0.5 PCF. System 15 is ideal for cold storage insulation due to its closed-cell formulation and high PCF
The next number to consider is the R-value. This measures the thermal resistance of a layer of insulation (the “R” stands for “resistance”). The higher the R-value, the better the insulation functions at preventing the flow of heat. For spray foam insulation, R-values generally range from 3.0 to 8.0.
Closed-cell spray foam insulation has a higher R-value than many other types of insulation, which makes it a leading choice for cold storage. VersiFoam® System 15 features a closed-cell formula with a 6.4 R-value; this is a top-tier insulator.

We’ve already described why the System 15 formulation is a perfect fit for cold storage insulation. There’s even more to System 15 that makes it a cold storage favorite.
All in One
System 15 spray foam insulation kits are come with everything you need to get the job done right – and fast:
- U-Control dispensing gun
- Two 10-foot hoses
- Ten mixing nozzles
- Three fan tips
- Nitrile gloves
Major Coverage
One System 15 kit produces 198 square feet of cured foam at a 1-inch thickness, or 16.5 cubic feet.
Unmatched Convenience
Our kits come in an efficient package that’s easy to carry around the job site, and they require no external power source.
Eco-Friendly
System 15 does not contain any CFCs, Penta-BDEs, VOCs, or urea- formaldehyde. This is particularly important when being applied in the same environment that will contain food or pharmaceuticals, two of the main industries that utilize cold storage.
