“We found that the Hardcast Spray-Seal System is a much faster way to seal ductwork…It’s more efficient, more cost effective and it does a better job.”
SOLUTIONS
“What normally took me 2-3 days to brush on sealant, now only takes 1 day, using less product, with Spray-Seal.”
PRODUCTS
“Using the Spray-Seal system is life changing…It’s faster, it’s cleaner and we’re using less product, plus every single test that I’ve done after spraying with Spray-Seal has passed, some with 0% leakage which is unheard of.”

The TPO rolled mastic sealant is a 6.5 mil TPO membrane laminated to a butyl adhesive sealant to form a 22 mil composite. The TPO Line Set Wrap is applied by peeling off the release liner while covering the pipe wrap insulation. Since this membrane is 100% solid, there is no shrinkage or additional coats required due to absorption by the insulation. This gives the product superior protection against damage from moisture, landscaping, operations, equipment maintenance, and wind.
Spray-Seal is an all-purpose high performance sprayable sealant for use on all types of metal duct, Fiberglass duct board, duct fabric and Flex duct.
