Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Features & Benefits
- Maximum Yield - Provides 100% more yield than that of standard straw foams.
- Low-Expansion - Ensures not to bend or bow door and window frames. Decreases foam waste.
- Fast Cure - Becomes tack free in 5 minutes and cut able within 45 minutes.
- Cures Flexible - Easier to cut if the gap is overfilled.
- Reusable - Highest technology valves system provides none sticking and reusability.
- Improved Adhesion&Stability - Better non-sagging performance on vertical surfaces.
- Usable in 4 Seasons - Special formulation allows application at low temperatures (-2°C)
- Polyurethane based - Perfect adhesion on common building materials.
- Closed-Cell Structure - Provides effective heat&sound insulation.
- It does not contain any propellant gasses which are harmful to the ozone layer.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Application Area
- Applications
- Fixing & sealing of door and window frames.
- Sealing applications where low-expansion is needed.
- Filling small cavities.
- Instructions
- Shake the can well before use.
- Screw the adapter on the valve.
- Hold the can upside down and activate the foam by pressing the valve.
- Moisturizing the surfaces and the foam improves adhesion and shortens curing time.
- Fresh foam can be cleaned by Akfix Foam Cleaner.
- Cured foam can be cleaned barely mechanically.
- Restrictions
- Storage above +30°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.
- Dried foam can be wiped out by mechanical force.
- Lower temperatures decreases yield and curing time.
