FROTH-PAK
™
Foam Sealant is
a two-com ponent, quick-cure
polyurethane foam that fills
cavities, penetrations and cracks.
FROTH-PAK
™
Foam Sealant is a
chemically cured foam, significantly
reducing curing time. It dispenses,
expands and becomes tack-free in
seconds. The product will skin over
in 30-40 seconds and will cure in
minutes.*
BASIC USE
FROTH-PAK
™
Foam Sealant can
be used in interior or exterior
commercial, residential, agricultural,
industrial and institutional settings.**
If used in an exterior setting,
a coating must be applied for
ultraviolet (UV) protection.
Typical commercial applications
include spray polyurethane
foam roof repair and sealing roof
perimeters and parapet walls.
Residential uses include:
• Roof and wall junctions
• Wall and attic penetrations
• Electrical, mechanical and
plumbing penetrations
• Other gaps, cracks or crevices in
the building envelope
SIZES
FROTH- PAK
™
Foam Sealant is
typically sold as a complete kit that
includes pressurized “A” and “B”
cylinders, plus dispensing gun/
hose assembly and accessories.
FROTH- PAK
™
Foam Sealant is also
available in refillable, returnable
tanks for applications requiring
a large amount of foam, such as
poultry houses. See Table 1 for size
and yield information.

and cautions before application.
Note: Avoid overfilling restricted
spaces. Chemicals exert force
during reaction, and expansion of
foam may result in substrate
deformation.
