Applications & Uses

Cure Method
Applications
  • Fixing and insulating of door and window frames.
  • Filling and sealing of gaps, joints and cavities.
  • Filling of penetrations in walls.
  • Insulating electrical outlets and water pipes.
Instructions
  • Optimal can temperature is +20°C. Application temperature is between -12°C and +30°C.
  • Shake the can well before use. Screw the can onto an applicator gun. The output of the foam can be regulated with the trigger and controlled with the adjustment screw on the back side of the gun.
  • Always keep the can upside down during application.
  • Fresh foam can be cleaned by Akfix Foam Cleaner. Cured foam can be cleaned barely mechanically.
Restrictions
  • Storage above +25°C and below +5°C shortens shelf life.
  • Should be stored and transported in vertical position.
  • Should be kept in room temperature for at least 12 hours before the application.
  • Cured foam will discolor if exposed to ultraviolet light.
  • Paint or coat the cured foam for best results in outdoor applications.
