Features & Benefits
- Fills large, irregular or awkward gaps where the foam will expand to completely fill the cavity
- Ideal for fixing and insulating window and door frames and boards
- Use for insulating between brickwork and cladding, around ductwork and through cavities carrying pipes and cables, or as a joint backing material in low expanding joints
Directions
- Ensure all surfaces are clean, sound, dry and free from dust, grease or other contaminants
- Optimal can temperature is 20°C. Application temperature is between +5 °C and +30 °C
- In cold temperatures it is wise to place your foam tins in a bucket of warm water to bring them up to room temperature
- Shake the can well before use
- Moistening the surfaces and the foam improves adhesion and shortens the cure time
- Screw the straw adapter onto the valve, turn the can upside down and activate the foam by pressing the valve
- Always keep the can upside down during application
- Filling – fill the hole half full of foam, as post expansion will completely fill the hole
- Fixing – When fixing door and window frames use wedges to hold the frame in place until full cure is reached, approximately 24 hours
- Fresh foam can be cleaned by Alpha Chem Foam Cleaner. Cured foam can be cleaned mechanically
- It is the user’s responsibility to dispose of all packaging correctly
Storage and Shelf Life
Storage:
- Store in cool, dry conditions between +5°C and +25°C
Shelf Life:

Limitations
- Should be stored and transported in a vertical position
- Storage above +25 °C and below +5 °C will shorten shelf life
- Keep at room temperature for at least 12 hours before the application
- Cured foam will discolour if exposed to ultraviolet light
- Paint or coat the cured foam for best results in outdoor applications
- Lower temperatures decrease yield and curing time
