As the distributor of Soudal in Singapore, we are announcing the change from Soudafoam FR to Soudafoam FR HY.

Soudafoam FR HY is a fire-resistant, hand-held PU foam that offers 25% more yield than the standard Soudafoam FR fire resisting foam. This means that with the same amount of product, you can fill more gaps and cavities, making it more cost-effective for our customers.

In fact, the “HY” suffix stands for “High Yield”.

Soudafoam FR HY

Soudafoam FR HY is a one-component expanding polyurethane foam filler that cures rapidly and has excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties. It expands 35-40 times its initial volume, providing excellent primerless adhesion on most construction materials. It also conforms to many international standards, making it a reliable choice for passive fire protection systems.

Soudafoam FR HY is easy to use. Simply shake the aerosol can for at least 20 seconds, put the adapter on the valve, and moisten surfaces with a water sprayer prior to application. For non-conventional substrates, a preliminary adhesion test is recommended. The foam can be applied in layers, with moistening after each layer. Fresh foam can be removed using Soudal Gun & Foamcleaner or acetone.

Soudafoam FR HY and Soudfoam FR comparison

Here are some comparisons between Soudafoam FR HY and Soudafoam FR:

• Yield: Soudafoam FR HY has 25% more yield than standard Soudafoam FR fire resisting foam. This means that with the same amount of product, you can fill more gaps and cavities, making it more cost-effective for our customers.
• Expansion: Both Soudafoam FR and Soudafoam FR HY expand 35-40 times their initial volume .
• Fire resistance: Both Soudafoam FR and Soudafoam FR HY are fire-resistant. With different product names, they have different test reports.

PFE Technologies Partners with Aqara for Advanced Smart Home Solutions

At PFE Technologies, we’ve always been committed to innovation and evolving with the times. This year, we’re taking a significant step forward by joining hands with Aqara, a leading name in the smart home industry.

Distribution of Aqara: Here’s What’s Happening

Starting May 2021, PFE Technologies will be expanding our product portfolio to include Aqara’s range of smart home devices. This is more than just adding new products to our shelves; it’s about embracing the future and ensuring we offer our customers the latest and best in smart home technology.

Getting to Know Aqara

Since its inception in 2009, Aqara has been committed to delivering smart home products that are not only technologically superior but also user-friendly. Think smart sensors, intuitive switches, and state-of-the-art digital door locks that integrate effortlessly into daily routines.

Why Smart Homes?

It’s a valid question. The smart home industry might seem like a curveball from our usual areas of operation. Traditionally, PFE Technologies’ domain has been centered around industrial, construction, and marine sectors, serving businesses with our range of products. On the other hand, the smart home sector is predominantly catered to homeowners, directly impacting consumers in their personal spaces.

Despite the apparent differences, PFE Technologies is uniquely positioned with an extensive network of contractors, partners, and longstanding relationships in the construction and manufacturing sectors. We’re excited to offer a bridge between the advanced tech solutions of Aqara and the real-world spaces where they’ll be installed. It’s about blending the expertise of two distinct worlds for the best outcomes.

What This Means for PFE Technologies

Being in the business since 1978, we pride ourselves on our legacy, especially in our Pereseal brand, and with the distribution rights for renowned names like Soudal and Klingspor. Partnering with Aqara aligns with our vision of diversifying our offerings and stepping into new avenues. We believe that this collaboration will enable us to deliver even more advanced solutions to our customers, enhancing their overall living experience.

In Closing

In essence, this partnership is a testament to our commitment to growth and innovation. We’re confident that with Aqara’s expertise and our dedication to excellence, we’re set to redefine smart living in Singapore.
