Dear All,

Hope everyone is well and safe, 2020 has been a crazy year.

With that being said, we are working on a project and we need to install polyurethane sandwich panels.

The polyurethane foam is typically a perfect environment for insects nesting.

Does any one have a solution for such a problem? maybe applying some kind of paint?

I have never seen insect problems with closed cell polyurethane. I assume you are talking about some kind of wood skins. Wood skins need the same protection as any wood product.
