FAQs
How long does it take for Soudafoam to cure?
The curing time is typically fast. However, it can vary based on temperature and humidity. Check the product instructions for specific details.
Can I paint over Soudafoam?
Yes, once the foam is fully cured, it can be painted or covered with other materials.
What is the shelf life of Soudafoam?
The shelf life is typically 12 months from the production date, when stored correctly.
What is the coverage area of one can?
Coverage varies based on the gap size and application. Check the product label for approximate yield.
Is Soudafoam waterproof?
While the foam is water-resistant, it's not a primary waterproofing agent. For direct water exposure, use appropriate sealants.
How should I clean the PU foam gun?
Use a PU foam gun cleaner to prevent the foam from hardening inside the gun. Follow the cleaner instructions carefully.
Can Soudafoam be used in exterior applications?
Yes, but the foam needs to be protected from direct UV exposure with paint or a suitable coating.
Troubleshooting
Foam is not expanding properly.
Ensure the can has been shaken well. Check for blockages in the gun or nozzle. Make sure the can is not too cold; warm it slightly if necessary.
Foam is dripping or running.
Apply less foam per pass. Control the gun trigger to regulate the flow. Clean the nozzle after each use.
Foam is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. In some cases, pre-wetting the surface can improve adhesion.
