Filling gaps and voids.
Blocking out dust, noise and draft.
Installation of window and doorframes.
Insulation of pipes.
Advantages:
Can be used when held upside down.
Suitable for use outside.
Can be cut, sanded and painted.
Has excellent adhesion to most substrates.
Quick and easy gap filler.
Reaches difficult access areas that need to be filled.
Storage and Shelf Life:
This product when stored at temperatures of between 18oC and 22oC will have a shelf life of twelve (12) months.
Instructions for Use
Surface Preparation:
All surfaces must be free of dust, grease, oil and surface contaminates. The surface should be pre-moistened with water before application. To ensure that the foam cures at an optimum rate, and secondary foam expansion is prevented.
Application:
Screw the nozzle onto the can.
Shake can thoroughly (approximately 20 times) before use.
Apply foam by pointing nozzle into area to be filled and depress. It can be applied valve up or down.
Foam will dispense rapidly and will expand 1.5 to 2 times its size as it comes out of the can.
The quantity of foam can be regulated by varying the pressure of the adapter.
Cleaning:
Remove fresh spots of foam immediately using cleaner such as acetone. Cured foam can only be removed mechanically.
