Product Information

Full details

The Soudal Flexible Expanding Foam Gun Grade 750ml is designed for professionals and DIYers seeking a reliable, flexible foam sealant for dynamic applications. Its key benefit is its elasticity, which allows it to absorb movement and vibration without cracking, ensuring a durable seal. A potential caveat is that it requires a foam gun for application, which is an additional tool. This one-component polyurethane foam offers precise application, strong adhesion to various building materials, and excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties, all while using CFC-free propellants.

FAQs

Can I use this foam without a foam gun?

This product is specifically designed as 'gun grade' and requires a foam gun applicator for controlled dispensing and application. Standard aerosol cans of expanding foam are available for manual application.

How long does it take for the foam to cure?

Curing time varies depending on temperature, humidity, and foam thickness. Typically, it becomes tack-free in about 15-30 minutes and can be cut or trimmed after approximately 1-2 hours.

Is the foam waterproof?

The cured foam is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is suitable for sealing against moisture, but prolonged submersion in water is not recommended.

Can I paint over the cured foam?

Yes, once the foam is fully cured, it can be painted over with most common paint types. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting.

How should I store the foam can after use?

To store partially used cans, leave the can attached to the foam gun, close the gun's flow valve, and invert the can. Clean the gun immediately after use with a PU foam cleaner. Store cans upright in a cool, dry place.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly (upright, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight), the shelf life is typically 12-18 months from the date of manufacture.

Can this foam be used for structural bonding?

While the foam has strong adhesion, it is designed primarily for sealing and insulation, not for structural load-bearing applications. For structural bonding, specific adhesives should be used.

Troubleshooting

Foam not dispensing or dispensing slowly.

Ensure the can is securely attached to the gun, shake the can thoroughly, and check if the gun's valve is open. The product may also be past its expiry date.

Excessive expansion leading to a mess.

Reduce the flow rate using the foam gun's adjustment screw. Apply foam in smaller quantities, as it will expand. Ensure surfaces are not excessively damp.

Foam adhesion is poor.

Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Lightly pre-dampen porous surfaces with water for better adhesion and expansion.

Foam has shrunk or cracked after curing.

This can indicate over-expansion or insufficient application. Ensure proper application techniques and that the joint is not excessively wide for a single application. Ensure adequate ventilation during curing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional flexibility accommodates movement and vibration.
  • Strong adhesion to diverse construction materials.
  • Precise application via foam gun reduces waste.
  • Provides effective thermal and acoustic insulation.
  • CFC-free formulation is environmentally friendly.

Cons

  • Requires a dedicated foam gun for application.
  • May require curing time before being painted or trimmed.
  • Not suitable for all types of flexible joints without proper joint design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible foam gun applicator.
  2. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least 30 seconds before use.
  3. Screw the can securely onto the foam gun applicator.
  4. Invert the can to dispense foam and use the gun's adjustment screw to control the flow rate.
  5. Apply foam to clean, dry, and dust-free surfaces. Lightly dampen surfaces for optimal adhesion and expansion.

Compatibility:

The foam adheres strongly to most building materials, including:

  • Concrete
  • Brick
  • Plaster
  • Wood
  • Metal
  • Glass
  • Most plastics (test on a small area first for sensitive plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene)

Care:

  • Uncured foam can be cleaned with Soudal PU Cleaner or acetone. Caution: Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cured foam can only be removed mechanically (cutting, sanding).
  • Protect from UV light and direct sunlight once cured; it can be painted over once fully cured.
  • Store cans upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
