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

Building & Construction

Applications

Building & Construction — Building Envelope & Roofing

EIFS & Insulation

Building & Construction — Flooring & Surfaces

Fillers, Levellers & Joints

Application Area

Door Frames,

Window Frames

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.
