It’s ideal for fixing and insulating window and door frames, securing boards in place, and insulating areas between brickwork and cladding, around ductwork, and through cavities containing pipes and cables. Additionally, it functions as a backing material for low-expanding joints, providing versatile solutions for construction and home improvement projects.
APPLICATION
- Prioritize cleanliness by ensuring all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from any dust, grease, or contaminants.
- Maintain the can at an optimal temperature of 20°C, while the application temperature should range between +5°C and +30°C.
- Before use, shake the can vigorously to ensure proper mixing of the contents.
- Improve adhesion and reduce cure time by moistening both the surfaces and the foam.
- Attach the straw adapter onto the valve, invert the can, and activate the foam by pressing the valve.
- Maintain the can upside down throughout the application process for optimal performance.
- When filling holes, only fill them halfway with foam, as the post-expansion will complete the filling process.
- Secure door and window frames in place using wedges until the foam fully cures, typically within 24 hours.
- Fresh foam residue can be cleaned using Alpha Chem Foam Cleaner, while cured foam requires mechanical cleaning.
- Proper disposal of all packaging materials is the user’s responsibility, ensuring compliance with waste disposal regulations.
LIMITATIONS
