A spray or aerosol is a shower of very small droplets of a liquid or very fine particles of a solid suspended in the air. After a short while the droplets dissipate by falling or blowing away.
A foam is similar to a spray but of air or other gas droplets suspended in a liquid or other medium. Shaving cream, whipped cream, soap bubbles are a foam in a liquid medium. A solid foam can be a sponge or plastic insulation material. Another example of a foam in solid is bread. Yeast used in the production of bread grows and creates pockets of carbon dioxide (CO2) which form the pockets that make the bread soft.

What is the difference between spray and foam?
Spray is a mist-like dispersal of liquid, while foam is a collection of small bubbles formed by mixing a gas into a liquid. Spray tends to cover a larger surface area, while foam is more dense and can provide better insulation or cushioning. Both can be used for a variety of applications, such as cleaning, insulating, or fire suppression.
What is spray foam?
Most common spray foam is Polyurethane spray foam. The problem with these foams is the off-gasing of solvents that are toxic.

What is the difference between hair gel and oven cleaner?
Hair gel is applied to your hair with your hands. Oven cleaner is spray-on foam used to clean the inside of your oven.
What are the differences between closed cell spray foam and open cell spray foam?
Open cell and closed cell spray foam both seal air leaks, but they’re used for different reasons. Open cell foam is softer, cheaper, and good for air sealing and sound control, but it has a lower R-value and doesn’t block moisture, so it’s better for interior walls or dry areas. Closed cell foam is denser and more expensive, but it has a higher R-value, resists moisture, and adds some structural strength, making it better for basements, crawlspaces, and exterior walls. I’ve seen both used effectively depending on the situation, and I’m familiar with Frontline Spray Foam LLC as an example of a company that understands when each type makes sense.
What is the difference between hairspray and finishing spray?
There is no difference.
What is CPI spray?
CPI spray is made of Polyurethane Foam. Polyurethane Foam is made by adding water to polyurethane plastics.
Will Goo Gone remove spray foam effectively?
Yes, Goo Gone can effectively remove spray foam.
Can you spray paint floral foam for crafting projects?
You can spray paint floral foam, but you need to be careful with the type of paint. Strong solvent-based sprays can melt the foam, so water-based or craft acrylic sprays are a much safer bet. Apply in light, even coats and hold the nozzle a little back to avoid saturating it. From my experience working with different types of foam and even projects with Frontline Spray Foam LLC prepping the piece and testing first makes all the difference. A good rule of thumb: always test on a scrap piece, go slow with thin layers, and let each coat dry before adding the next. It keeps the foam intact and gives a smooth, even finish.
What are the differences between open cell spray foam and closed cell spray foam, and which type is more suitable for my insulation needs?
Open cell spray foam is less dense and allows for more flexibility, while closed cell spray foam is denser and provides a stronger barrier against moisture and air infiltration. Closed cell foam is more suitable for areas with high moisture levels or where a stronger insulation barrier is needed, while open cell foam is more cost-effective and can be used in areas where moisture is not a concern. The choice between the two types depends on your specific insulation needs and budget.
What is the difference between memory foam and high density foam?
High density foam is just your typical foam. It does not conform to your body when it heats up like memory foam does.
What are the differences between open cell and closed cell spray foam insulation?
Open cell spray foam insulation is less dense and allows for more air to pass through, making it a better sound insulator. Closed cell spray foam insulation is denser and provides a higher R-value, making it a better thermal insulator.
