Handi-Foam® is a multiple purpose two-component polyurethane foam designed within
the international guidelines for protection of the ozone layer, and with respect to the
Montreal Protocol, 1987, and other environmental guidelines, utilizing a non-flammable
blowing agent to assist in the safety of the end user. The pre-pressurized, portable two-
component foam systems are dispensed through the state-of-the-art Handi-Gun® two-
component dispensing gun, providing unsurpassed quality and flexibility in end-use
performance.
Application Areas
Spray foam onto any clean, dry surface in any direction to insulate, fill and seal various
size voids, dampen sound or reduce vibration. It is specifically designed to spray onto flat
or irregular surfaces, and to fill large cavities.
Properties
The patented and user-friendly system provides many unique advantages, including:
• Fire rated Foam
• Easy to use
• Quick Curing
• Excellent Insulation properties
• Wide range of Packaging sizes
• Environmental friendly foam and packaging (Refillable)
Handi-Foam fully expands and dries tack-free within seconds. It fully cures within
several hours.
Two-component foam systems expand with approximately an 8-to-1 ratio, and cure to a
semi-rigid closed cell foam upon the chemical reaction of component A (a polymeric
isocyanate) with component B (a polyol blend containing certain additives).
Handi-Foam adheres to almost all building materials with the exception of surfaces such
as polyethylene, Teflon®, silicone, oils and greases, mold release agents, and similar
materials.
Optimal application temperature is 24°C (75°F) but may be sprayed onto colder or
warmer substrates, with slight effects on the foam characteristics. Cured foam is resistant
to heat and cold, -129°C to +93°C (-200°F to +200°F), and to aging, but not UV rays
unless painted, covered or coated. Cured foam is also chemically inert and non-reactive
in approved applications.

 
Handi-Foam systems require no outside mechanical or electrical power source and are
disposable. Handi-Foam is available in various kit sizes to meet specific job application
requirements. When sprayed, the foam will create a seamless, continuous seal to insulate
and protect against dust, air infiltration, pests, etc.
Preparation For Use
Substrate must be clean, dry, firm, free of loose particles and free of dust, grease and
mold release agents. Protect surfaces not to be foamed.
Shake kits before using.
Application / Use
After following instructions for set-up, kits are ready to use. Valves must be in the
upright position for Handy Foam System 25, 40, 125 and 740 and pointed down for
Handy Foam System 12. Materials are dispensed through hoses and mixed in the
disposable nozzle.
With a nozzle attached to the two-component gun, dispense foam by squeezing the
trigger of the gun. To interrupt or stop foaming process, release the gun trigger. Once
foaming process has stopped, the gun must be reactivated within one minute or a new
nozzle must be installed. Fresh foam may be applied in several stages to reduce
overfilling of void or damage to non-rigid, confined cavities. Cured foam can only be
removed mechanically.
Important Note: Use only in well ventilated area or with certified respiratory protection.
Wear gloves, eye protection and protective clothing when using. Read all instructions and
safety information (MSDS) prior to use of any product. The product contains no
formaldehyde. Cured foam is non-toxic. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Product Storage
Store in cool dry area. Do not expose to open flame or temperatures above 49°C (120°F).
Excessive heat can cause premature aging of components resulting in a shorter shelf life.
Handi-Foam is reusable by following product instructions.
