How To's/Tips

Highly Adhesive

Foam is highly adhesive, and dried foam is very difficult to remove.

Use Drop Cloths

Use drop cloths when working with polyurethane foam.

Paint Outdoor Applications to Avoid Discoloration

Wait until foam is rigid before painting or trimming (30-60 minutes). Landscape foam is UV resistant and will not discolor or break down in sunlight.

Cover Areas

Cover any areas you do not want exposed to foam.

Always Test Application

Always test application on scrap material first. Release trigger before reaching end of gap as foam continues to dispense for several seconds after trigger is released.

Clean Spills Immediately

Clean spills immediately (before foam dries) with acetone or nail polish remover containing acetone. DO NOT USE WATER. Do not attempt to remove cured foam with solvents. Cured foam wears off and is not harmful to health.(moisture helps to cure foam).

Do Not Overfill Gaps

Do not overfill gaps – fill gaps 1/3 full, allow room for foam to expand

Requires Some Humidity

Polyurethane foam sealants require some humidity in order to cure properly. For best results, apply in temperatures between 60-100°F (16-38°C). Allow foam to cure fully before replacing baseboards, window or door frames.

Wear gloves, eye protection, a hat and work clothes

Wear gloves, eye protection, a hat and work clothes.

Read all instructions on package

Read all instructions on package.

Prep the Surface

Make sure surface is free of oil and dirt.

Shake the Can No More than 30 Seconds

Shaking for more than 30 seconds may result in less foam yield.

For Reusable Dispensing

For reusable dispensing, leave straw attached, folding over and attaching to white knob on dispensing trigger.

Store Aerosol Can Upright

Store aerosol can upright to avoid propellant leakage prior to use.
FAQs

How does foam sealant compare to other types of insulation?

Unlike caulking materials and other sealants that are solid, heavy and non-insulating, foam sealants expand to form an outer skin that contains closed air cells that provide an effective barrier against energy loss. DAP Foam forms a permanent seal that will not shrink or pull away from the material it has bonded to, making foam the best sealant available against air and moisture infiltration.

Is DAP Foam fire retardant?

Yes. DAP Foam sealants meet the criteria of flame / smoke spread to be classified as a Class A foam. While these sealants are fire retardant (self-extinguishing when flame is removed), they are not intended to be used a fire barrier or fire stop.

Is DAP Foam waterproof?

DAP Foam sealants are water-resistant, however they are not intended for use in submerged/below-waterline applications.

Can DAP Foam be used to insulate a wall?

No, DAP Foam insulating sealants are formulated to fill cracks, gaps and small voids. The project requires ventilation and humidity to cure. Larger voids may not allow enough air or moisture penetration for proper curing. DAP Foam products should not be used in any closed cavity that limits air/moisture exposure or the ability of the product the free rise (expand).

Can DAP Foam be used outdoors?

We recommend Landscape Foam for exterior applications. Landscape will not discolor or break down in sunlight like other foams. It is plant and fish safe, and the dark color blends into shadows well. MaxFill and Home Seal formulas may also be used indoors or outdoors. These foams should be painted when used outside in order to prevent discoloration and break down from UV exposure. DAP Foam can be painted in about one hour after dispensing. Touch 'n Foam No Warp, Fire Break and Mouse Shield should be used indoors only.

How do I store DAP Foam?

To store unused portion, bend straw back & attach to the knob atop the dispensing trigger. Store can upright below 90°F & above freezing temperature. Never store DAP Foam in your vehicle.

Can I reuse DAP Foam?

DAP Foam is reusable for up to three weeks after initial use. To store unused portion, bend straw back and attach to the knob atop the dispensing trigger. Store can upright below 90°F. Reuse product within three weeks. To re-use, cut the end off the straw (removing any cured foam), shake well and apply as directed.

Do surfaces require any special preparation before applying foam?

Application surface must be clean, dry and free of all foreign material.
