Product description
The products are one-component polyurethane expanding foams, which can be used as sealants to control air leakage at penetrations (e.g., in window and door frames) within the DuPont® Tyvek® Homewrap™ air barrier system. The products are packaged in pressurized containers, which are available in various sizes.
The durability of the products was assessed with the following substrates at the window/wall interface.
| Component | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| Window or door frame | Air barrier material | |
| Wood | DuPont® Tyvek® Homewrap™ | Pass |
| Vinyl | DuPont® Tyvek® Homewrap™ | Pass |

Technical information
This evaluation is based on demonstrated conformance with the following criteria:
| Criteria number | Criteria name |
|---|---|
| CAN/ULC-S710.1-11, Class 1 | Standard for Thermal Insulation – Bead-Applied One Component Polyurethane Air Sealant Foam, Part 1: Material Specification |
The products containing the word “Fireblock” as part of the name have not been evaluated to conform to Sentence 3.1.11.7.(1) of the National Building Code of Canada 2010 (NBC 2010). As such, the products have not been tested to CAN/ULC-S101, “Fire Endurance Tests of Building Construction and Materials” to obtain a fire resistance rating.
As per CAN/ULC-S710.1-11, the one-component air sealant foam must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and CAN/ULC-S710.2-11, “Standard for Thermal Insulation – Bead-Applied One Component Polyurethane Air Sealant Foam – Part 2: Installation.”
The time period before occupancy is one (1) day plus one (1) hour.
Administrative information
Disclaimer
This evaluation is issued by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC), part of the Construction Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The evaluation must be read in the context of the entire CCMC Registry of Product Assessments and the legislated applicable building code in effect.
The CCMC was established in 1988 on behalf of the applicable regulator (i.e., the provinces and territories) to ensure—through assessment—conformity of alternative and acceptable solutions to regional building codes as determined by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) as part of the issuance of a building permit.
It is the responsibility of the local AHJs, design professionals, and specifiers to confirm that the evaluation is current and has not been withdrawn or superseded by a later issue. Please refer to the website or contact:

The NRC has evaluated the material, product, system or service described herein only for those characteristics stated herein. The information and opinions in this evaluation are directed to those who have the appropriate degree of experience to use and apply its contents (i.e., AHJs, design professionals and specifiers). This evaluation is only valid when the product is installed in strict compliance with the stated conditions and limitations of evaluation and the applicable local building code. In circumstances where no applicable local building permit is issued and that no confirmation of compliance ‘for use in the intended field application’ is undertaken, this evaluation is null and void in all respects. This evaluation is provided without representation, warranty, or guarantee of any kind, expressed, or implied, and the NRC provides no endorsement for any evaluated material, product, system or service described herein.
