HANDI-SEAL® MEETS AAMA INDUSTRY STANDARDS
NORTON, OHIO - April, 2005 – Fomo Products, Inc. is proud to announce that Handi-Seal® Window and Door Sealant, manufactured at the Fomo headquarters in Norton Ohio, meets the newly created AAMA specification #812-04. American Architectural Manufacturers Association, commonly referred to as AAMA, is the leading industry association for fenestration products and components. AAMA recently concluded the lengthy process of establishing guidelines which determine whether a low pressure, single-component foam is suitable for sealing around window and door rough openings. The specification states that "an installed foam fill shall not distort the frame more than one-sixteenth (0.0625) inch along any side." Handi-Seal® is compliant with this new AAMA specification.
Fomo Products, Inc., a manufacturer of polyurethane foam sealant and adhesive products worldwide, has been manufacturing Handi-Seal since 2000. Handi-Seal offers an exclusive and patented low-pressure AND closed cell window and door foam. In fact, Handi-Seal is the only product on the market that exhibits virtually no pressure generation while being closed cell and therefore more resistant to moisture which may lead to mold problems. Handi-Seal was created to replace existing one-component polyurethane (PU) foams that may expand with higher pressure exerted on the window frame after application, causing bowing.
Fomo Products, Inc., USA was founded in 1975 and is a member of FLM Group of Companies. The FLM Group is one of the world's largest manufacturers of one- and two-component PU foam sealants and adhesives in pressurized, disposable packaging. Fomo Products, Inc. is an ISO 9001 certified company. Other products manufactured by Fomo Products, Inc., include Handi-Foam® One- and Two-Component foam systems, and Handi-Stick® Adhesives.
