Window & Door Expanding Foam Gun Grade DuravalvePTDSOU130582 Proven reliable Soudal technology Lightweight construction at just 0.73 Kgs High performace for the home or tradesman, Weight: 1.5873282864 Pounds, Manufacturer: Soudal
The Soudal Soudafoam Window & Door Gun Grade is a high-performance, moisture-curing polyurethane foam ideal for professionals and DIYers seeking to efficiently seal, fill, and insulate gaps. Its primary benefit is its high expansion rate, filling large voids effectively with precise application via a standard foam gun. A key consideration is its adhesion; it bonds well to most building materials but not to PE, PP, or PTFE.

FAQs
How do I clean up uncured foam?
Uncured foam can be cleaned from surfaces and the foam gun using a specialized Soudal PU Cleaner or acetone. Always ensure good ventilation and test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can I paint over the cured foam?
Yes, once fully cured, the foam can be painted, plastered, or covered with other finishing materials. Ensure the surface is clean and sound.
What is the expansion rate of this foam?
This Soudal Soudafoam can expand up to 35 times its original volume.
Is this foam suitable for outdoor use?
While it provides excellent sealing, it is recommended to protect the cured foam from direct UV exposure and weather elements with appropriate finishing materials for long-term durability.
How long does the foam take to cure?
The tack-free time is typically around 10-15 minutes, and it can be cut after approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on application thickness and environmental conditions. Full curing takes longer.
What surfaces should I avoid using this foam on?
Avoid using this foam on Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicone, and surfaces treated with certain plasticizers.
Do I need a special gun to use this foam?
Yes, this is a gun-grade foam and requires a standard foam applicator gun for controlled and precise application.
Troubleshooting
Foam not dispensing or dispensing slowly
Ensure the can is adequately shaken. Check if the foam gun is functioning correctly. Make sure the can is properly attached and the valve is open. The temperature may be too low; warm the can gently.
Uneven or excessive expansion
Shake the can thoroughly before and periodically during use. Apply foam in smaller, controlled amounts. Ensure the substrate is slightly damp, as moisture aids curing and can lead to more predictable expansion. Avoid overfilling the gap.
Foam not adhering to a surface
Check the surface material. The foam is not designed to adhere to PE, PP, PTFE, or silicone. Ensure the surface is clean, dry (or slightly damp as recommended), and free from dust or grease.
Foam cures too quickly or is brittle
This can occur in very dry conditions. Lightly misting the applied foam with water can help ensure proper curing and flexibility.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Precise application control with a foam gun.
Excellent gap-filling capability due to high expansion.
Good thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
Fast curing time speeds up project completion.
Bonds strongly to a wide range of building materials.
Cons
Not suitable for use on PE, PP, or PTFE surfaces.
Requires a foam gun for optimal application.
Expansion can be difficult to control if not applied carefully.
Requires ventilation during application and curing.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the can is at room temperature (ideally 15°C to 25°C) for best results.
Shake the can vigorously for at least 20 seconds before attaching it to a foam gun.
Attach the can securely to the foam gun applicator.
Invert the can and apply the foam by carefully pressing the trigger of the gun. Apply foam in a "bread-loaf" pattern, as it will expand significantly.
For vertical gaps, apply foam from the bottom up.
Compatibility:
Adheres to: Most building materials including concrete, brick, plaster, wood, metal, and rigid plastics.
Does NOT adhere to: Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), silicone, and some plasticizers.
Use with: A standard foam applicator gun is required.
Care:
Uncured foam can be cleaned from the foam gun and surfaces using a Soudal PU Cleaner or acetone (ensure good ventilation and test in an inconspicuous area first).
Cured foam can only be removed mechanically (cutting, sanding) or with specialized cleaners.
Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, long sleeves) during application and ensure good ventilation.
