Application Details

Consumption

Yield

750 ml can up to 55 litres (± 3 litres)

Substrate Quality

Clean homogenous free from oils and grease dust and loose or friable particles.

Substrate Preparation

Pre dampen the substrate with clean water this ensures that the foam cures optimally and also prevents secondary foam expansion later on.

Application Conditions / Limitations

Substrate temperature

+5ºC min. / +30ºC max

Ambient temperature

Optimum handling temperature +18ºC to +25ºC

Permissible handling temperature +5ºC min / +30ºC max.

Relative Air Humidity

Between 30% and 100%

Application Instructions

Application method

????

Shake the can thoroughly before use (~ 20 times)

????

Remove the small black lid from the Sika Boom®-FR aerosol can. Screw the Sika Boom®-FR nozzle onto the can. Gently press the trigger.

????

Take care to allow each layer to cure sufficiently by spraying water or allowing sufficient waiting time between the layers.

????

Do not fill up hollow sections completely as the foam expands by 1.5 to 2 times its volume during curing.

????

All fixings and components etc must be temporarily supported until the foam has hardened.

Cleaning of Tools

Remove fresh spots of foam immediately using a cleaner such as Sika Boom Cleaner. Cured foam can only be removed mechanically.

Construction

Notes on Application / Limitations

????

The aerosol can temperature has to be +5ºC min. and +25ºC max. For optimum flow and expansion the aerosol can temperature should be +18ºC to +25ºC.

????

Protect the can from direct sun and temperatures above +50ºC (danger of explosion). For the correct curing of the foam sufficient moisture is necessary.

????

Do to use on PE PP Teflon Silicone Oil Grease and other separating agents.

????

Foam is not resistant to UV light.

????

Read the safety and technical recommendations printed on the aerosol can.

Important Notes

•

To avoid rare allergic reactions we recommend the use of protective gloves. Change soiled work clothes and wash hands before breaks and after finishing work.

•

Local regulations as well as health and safety advice on packaging labels must be observed.

•

For further information refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet which is available on request.

•

If in doubt always follow the directions given on the pack or label.

•

Residues of material must be removed according to local regulations. Fully cured material can be disposed of as household waste under agreement with the responsible local authorities.

•

Detailed health and safety information as well as detailed precautionary measures e.g. physical toxicological and ecological data can be obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet.
