ST. LOUIS— There is now an easy way for contractors, specifiers and installers to save energy while reducing their carbon footprint. Convenience Products, (www.convenienceproducts.com), the manufacturer of Touch ‘n Foam expanding foam adhesive sealants, introduces new MaxFill, a triple expanding foam sealant that seals larger gaps and cracks around the home, both indoors and outdoors. MaxFill is made with renewable energy resources, which replace the petroleum-based raw materials found in other foams.

“This is a great product for environmentally conscious individuals,” says Bob Tubbesing, Vice President of Marketing at Convenience Products. “Most homes have dozens of gaps and cracks around the house that allow treated air to leave and let outside air in. MaxFill creates an airtight seal in these gaps and can drive down energy costs by as much as 30 percent.”

Common interior uses of MaxFill include filling the gaps and voids around baseboards, basement walls, electrical junction boxes, wire and pipe penetrations and air, heating and dryer vents. Outside of the home, MaxFill creates an airtight, weather-resistant bond that seals out drafts along the bottom of siding edges where they meet the foundation, electric, gas and A/C penetrations, along garage ceiling and wall joints and outdoor faucets. “Not only does Touch ‘n Foam insulate the home and save money, but it also blocks mice and insects from key points of entry,” says Tubbesing.

MaxFill is UL-listed and uses a reusable foam saver nozzle that allows for storage and later use. Once applied, the sealant can be sanded, spackled and painted.

MaxFill qualifies for the Federal Tax Credit under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as extended by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, when used for insulation purposes, in new or existing residential dwellings. Visit www.energystar.gov for more information.

MaxFill is available nationwide. For additional information, visit www.touch-n-foam.com or call 800-323-7357.
