Frequently Asked Questions
How does Aeroseal work?
If your duct system needs
to be sealed, a patented computer-controlled injection machine sends
small particles of aeroseal sealant through the duct system to plug
the holes. Aeroseal Technology deposits small adhesive particles directly
on the edges of holes in your ducts-bridging the cracks to create seals.

What
is the Aeroseal process?
Aeroseal of Michigan seals
all registers and cold air returns and takes an initial duct leakage
reading using computerized duct system diagnostics. The computer then
registers this information and blows the nontoxic Aeroseal mist through
a plastic tube hooked to the main duct feed.

Where
was the Aeroseal Technology invented?
The sealing technology was
invented in 1994 at the University of California. Research to develop
Aeroseal was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the California
Institute for Energy Efficiency and the Electric Power Research Institute.
The University of California was granted a patent in 1999, and Aeroseal
Inc., holds an exclusive license to the technology.

Is Aeroseal
safe?
Yes. Two chemicals make up
Aeroseal. They are vinyl acetate polymer (VAP) and 2-ethyl-1 hexanol
(2E1H). The main chemical is VAP, which is a non-volatile form of vinyl
acetate monomer (VAM) which has been used in water-based paints, adhesives
and hair spray. VAP has been used as a chewing gum base. VAP has no
OSHA permissible Exposure Limit and does not sustain combustion. 2E1H
is a common industrial solvent and is not considered toxic by OSHA.

is less than a decade old it has been used on more than 100,000 homes
nationwide.
