High yield fire rated, one component hand held polyurethane expanding foam. 25% higher yield than ...High yield fire rated, one component hand held polyurethane expanding foam. 25% higher yield than standard Soudafoam FR fire resisting foam. The rapid curing foam filler provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Expands 35-40 times its initial volume. Very good adhesion on most construction materials. Suitable for use in passive fire protection systems as a large gap filler, as well as the installation of fire retardant window and door frames. Fire resistance: up to 4 hours. Reaction to fire: class E. Excellent thermal and acoustic values. Interior and exterior use.
This guide is for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a high-performance fire-resistant expanding foam. The Soudal Soudafoam FR provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation and is suitable for various applications, including fire-retardant window and door frame installations. Note that while the foam expands significantly, proper application and surface preparation are crucial for optimal results.

FAQs
How long does the foam take to cure?
Curing time varies depending on environmental conditions, but it typically cures within a few hours to overnight.
Can I paint over the foam?
Yes, once the foam has fully cured, it can be painted over. Always check the paint manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility.
What is the shelf life of the product?
The shelf life is usually indicated on the can. Check the expiration date before use.
Is the foam waterproof?
While the foam is water-resistant, it's not entirely waterproof. For areas exposed to water, additional waterproofing measures may be required.
What safety precautions should I take when using this product?
Wear gloves, eye protection, and appropriate clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
How should I store the product?
Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
How much does the foam expand?
The foam expands approximately 35-40 times its initial volume.
What materials can I use to clean up the foam?
Uncured foam can be cleaned with a solvent cleaner. Cured foam can be trimmed with a knife or removed by abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Foam does not expand properly.
Ensure the can is shaken well before use. Check the expiration date. The temperature might be too low; ensure the can is at the correct temperature for application.
Foam sticks to the nozzle and clogs.
Clean the nozzle immediately after use with a suitable solvent. Replace the nozzle if necessary.
Foam adheres poorly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust and grease. Moisten the surface lightly before applying the foam.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High fire resistance rating for enhanced safety.
Superior thermal and acoustic insulation for improved building performance.
Increased yield reduces the amount of product needed, saving cost and waste.
Fast curing allows for quicker project turnaround.
Versatile application for a wide range of uses, from sealing gaps to installing frames.
Excellent adhesion ensures a secure and durable seal.
Cons
Expansion rate requires careful application to avoid overfilling.
Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
Uncured foam can be messy and difficult to remove.
Specific application techniques may be needed for certain scenarios.
Class E reaction to fire may not meet all building code requirements for every application.
Requires the use of gloves and eye protection during application.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris. Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
Application: Shake the can vigorously before use. Attach the applicator nozzle and apply the foam, filling gaps approximately 1/3 full, as the foam will expand.
Curing: Allow the foam to cure completely. The curing time depends on the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).
Trimming: Once cured, trim any excess foam with a sharp knife.
Compatibility: The Soudal Soudafoam FR is compatible with most common construction materials.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place. Protect from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the product within the specified shelf life.
