Why EMS USA uses a 10# polyurethane foam

 Polyurethane insulation is used in panel construction all over the country for two reasons structural strength and built in R value.  Most Insulted panels have a 3#-4# density polyurethane foam and this same standard has transferred over to insulated doors. Now why would we want to have a higher density foam door?

There are two reasons, one the higher the density the stronger the door is from a structural stand point. This means that the door is less apt to dent and can make a strong door leaf without added structural support in the door adding weight.  The result is a light weight strong sliding or swinging freezer door.

The second benefit of 10# foam is its longevity.  In the Polyurethane world everyone is concerned about the foam over time shrinking, this can cause the door or panel to separate from the metal skin, clearly shortening the life of the door. Additionally when shrinking occurs it allows pockets where moisture problems may occur. With a 10# door leaf the shrinkage over time is negligible and 10# foam will not absorb moisture, which has been tested  and proven by German engineers.

Now why don’t more door companies make 10# door leaves?  It is basically lack of technology as they have been unable to make a foam press that can handle the foam pressure.

The Engineers at EMS-USA Insulated Doors however have been able to master the process and have provided a superior door unlike anything on the European and US markets.
