Akfix 888P Flexible PU Gun Foam

Akfix 888P Flexible PU Gun Foam is a single-component PU flexible foam used with an applicator gun and features flexibility, high performance, easier application and reusability. It does not contain any propellant gasses which are harmful to the ozone layer. The foam has a minimum expansion after application (less than 50%) and is therefore very economical to use. The foam is very elastic and has a very high acoustic rating and thermal insulation value.

Applications & Uses

Application Method
Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Applications
  • Vibrating constructions
  • Soundproof screen production
  • Application of soundproofing layer on industrial equipments
  • Reduction of noise transmission during use as fixing foam
  • Fixing and insulating of door and window frames
  • Filling and sealing gaps, joints and cavities
  • Filling penetrations in walls
  • Filling all joints in roof constructions
  • Enhancing thermal insulation in heating/cooling systems
  • Insulating electrical outlets and water pipes
Instructions
  • Optimal can temperature is 20°C. Application temperature is between -2°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.
