HOUSTON, TX. –Lapolla Industries is pleased to announce the launch of their new ABAA evaluated closed-cell foam – FOAM-LOK AB 2000. While contributing to the building envelope by providing the best R-Values, durability, comfort, sustainability and air quality, FOAM-LOK AB 2000 also provides the best alternative when choosing an ABAA approved air barrier.
