Product Details

Product Information

Shelf Life

  • One (1) year when unopened and stored as directed.
  • Use within 30 days of opening the cylinder valve and within 12-month shelf life.

Storage Conditions

  • Store upright in a dry area at temperatures between 45-95◦F (7-35◦C). Excessive heat can cause premature aging of components resulting in a shorter shelf-life.
  • Do not allow material to freeze.

 

In Use Cylinder Storage:

  • Insert a nail into the end of nozzle to restrict moisture from entering. For longer storage up to 30 days, remove the nozzle and spray cleaning solvent through nozzle and around the ball valve.
  • Do not disconnect the dispensing hose/gun or remove hoses from cylinders. Do not flush/clean hoses with air, water, or solvent. Removing and/or cleaning the hose will compromise the foam. Leave the dispensing unit hose pressurized. Wrap the hose end with plastic.

Application

Application Information

Ambient Air Temperature

  • Adhesive product temperature should be 65°F-95°F (18°C-35°C), temperatures outside of this range may affect flow rate and cure times.
  • Do not apply in ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or surface temperature above 115°F (46°C).

Open Time

The time between placing adhesive ribbons onto the insulation board and the time the ribbons skin over is approximately 1-5 minutes.

Cure Time

  • 1 hour, under average conditions of 70°F (21°C) and 50% Relative Humidity
  • Cooler temperatures and lower humidity will extend the cure time.
  • Protect adhesive from rain or other precipitation and temperatures less than 50°F (10°C) for a minimum of 1 hour or until dry.
Consumption

Coverage

Insulation board coverage based on 3/4" (19 mm) bead size:

Canister: 100-110 ft2 (9.7-10 m2)

Cylinder: 970-1,000 ft2 (90-93 m2)

Coverage varies with surface conditions, application technique and ribbon size.
