Spray Foam to Fill Exitising (Closed) Wall Cavities |
|
Tiger Foam Slow rise formula is engineered to spray into existing wall cavities. This formula is a low pressure, low expansion formula that is designed not to blow the drywall off as long as it is attached using standard building practices. This makes it an excellent choice for older and historic homes that may have no insulation/air sealant in the wall cavity. Works well behind plaster and lathe walls or any cavity fill application.
For Slow Rise and Cavity Fill, we recommend the following product:
| Foam Kits - 200
bd. ft. Foam Kits (16 cu. ft.) |
Item # TF200SR |
|
| Foam Kits - 600
bd. ft. Foam Kits (50 cu. ft.) |
Item # TF600SR |

Calculating Spray Foam Requirement
Due to the variety of application and different formulas of Tiger Foam Insulation available, there are several formulas for determining the quantity of spray foam product required for the job.
You may use the calculations provided on the air sealing application pages or use our custom-build foam spray calculator. If you have problems calculating your spray foam needs, simply call our sales office directly at (888) 844-3736 and we’ll be happy to do the calculations for you.
Technical Information
- Unless otherwise stated, the density of TIGER FOAM is 1.75 lbs. per cubic foot.
- Tiger Foam two component foams are rated at R-Value of 6.2-7.4 per inch (depends on the external factors such as humidity and temperature during the application and curing).
- The size of the kit, i.e. 600 or 200, is indicative of the board foot coverage or expanded yield for that kit. Thus, a 600 kit will cover 600 square feet at 1" thick. A board foot as it relates to this product is a square foot one inch thick. The kit size is yield of the kit expanded.
- The conversion to cubic foot yield for these kits is generally 600 yields 50 cubic feet and 200 yields 16 cubic feet of foam.
- To convert gallons to cubic feet for filling liquid tanks with foam (for EPA membranes, flotation devises etc.), multiply gallons by 0.1337. So a 500 gallon tank would need 66.85 cu to fill the tank requiring a TF600SR and TF-200 for a total of 66 cu. yield.
- Tiger Foam contains NO Penta-BDEs as a fire retardant and are both E-84 Fired Rated

Consumer Recommendations
"I just finished using Tiger Foam SR 60. Went from start to finish non-stop using one tip. I preheated the tanks to 85 degrees with a portable heater set on low for two days. I left the tanks in the box, turned them on the side next to each other, opened the tops, and split the heater between the boxes at 16" away for two days. This will heat them to the core. I did have a surface thermometer to monitor them every 6-10 hours, and they never got above 90 degrees."
