What Are Acceptable Adhesives for Halo Foam Board Insulation?

You should use a weather-resistant construction glue that is compatible with expanded polystyrene foam to secure Halo® products to wood or concrete surfaces.

These are typically closed-cell single component polyurethane foams. Two examples of this type of adhesive are PL300 by LePage or Great Stuff by DuPont.

These adhesives typically offer an application temperature range from -7c(19f) To 35c (95f) And a cure time of 24 to 48 hours depending on temperature, humidity, the porosity of the surface, and amount of adhesive used.

You should always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for product suitability and application procedures.
