Reactor® E-8p

Portable Plural-Component Sprayer
for No-Heat Polyurethane Foams

Build Your Business by Re-insulating Existing Homes

Here’s your opportunity

Homeowners are looking for ways to cut energy costs. Proper sealing and insulating is
a long-term cost-effective way to make their homes more energy-efficient. With over
86 million existing homes in North America that require better insulation1, this is
a great opportunity for you to build your business.

Use the Reactor E-8p in attics to create an air barrier under blown-in

insulation (above), or to seal and insulate rim joists (below).

A 2005 National Institute of Standards and Technology study2 indicates

that an air barrier system could reduce air leakage by up to 85%, and

realize a 40% savings in natural gas, and a 25% savings in electricity.

The Reactor E-8p is the solution

The Reactor E-8p Portable Plural-Component Sprayer is among the first portable, professional foam insulation systems that produces foam
for air-sealing existing homes. In fact, it’s the first system that’s designed specifically for new no-heat polyurethane foam formulations. It
produces a proven air-seal solution that’s in demand by homeowners who want energy-efficient homes.

Expand your business

Become more competitive in today’s market with equipment
designed for the remodeling or small foam job. Whether you’re
expanding your existing insulation application opportunities or
just starting your business, the Reactor E-8p provides a quick
return on investment. As a touch-up system, the Reactor E-8p
frees up larger rigs for medium and large jobs while enabling
you to finish the job affordably.

Portable, lightweight
and easy to move

Haul it in your van, pickup or car. Take it anywhere – through
narrow doorways or halls, even up narrow stairways of older
homes. The Reactor E-8p’s compact design easily fits in tight
areas so you can spray foam with ease. Since no heaters are
required, the Reactor E-8p is small, lightweight and compact.

Designed for existing
home environments

The compact design is unobtrusive. Simply plug it into
a standard residential outlet. Material is drawn from handy
no-spill five-gallon pails. No feed pumps needed.

Applications

• Rim joists in existing homes

• Attics in existing homes – as an air barrier under blown-in insulation

• Alternative to froth kits

• Backup system for spray rig owners

• Touch-up projects in tight areas

• HVAC spray sealing of approved duct work

Reactor E-8p: An Economical Alternative to Froth Kits

A quick return on your investment

Many small projects that are ordinarily completed with froth kits can now be accomplished more economically with the
Reactor E-8p and no-heat polyurethane foams. In fact, froth kits can cost up to three times the cost of five-gallon pails
of no-heat foam polyurethane materials.
