The Difference Between Our Expanding Foams and Their Uses

25/01/2023

Expanding foam is a great invention that comes in useful for a number of different types of applications. The convenience of quickly applying expanding foam from an aerosol spray can or applicator gun has revolutionised construction jobs, saving time and money on alternative products that require mixing and produce dust and mess.

 

Foams also reduce the need for nails and screws and are safer to apply than hammering nails and screws that can cause injuries.

 

We supply a range of different expanding foam products so our customers can use them for work on all types of construction projects:

 

Mega Stick Plasterboard Adhesive Foam

 

For fast plasterboard, insulation board, floorboard and roof decking installation, the Mega Stick Plasterboard Adhesive Foam is the perfect foam for the job. It is fast curing and can be used either as a spray or can be used with a standard foam gun.

 

As well as providing adhesive for dry wall applications, it can be used for heat insulation and to dampen sound. No need for heavy bags of plaster, mixing adhesive or waiting for boards to adhere, the foam works on a wide range of surfaces including solid walls, metal, timber studding, battens and beams.

 

Aerosol Expanding Foam Cleaner

 

This foam is for using to clean down your foam applicator guns and can be threaded onto the gun, but it also has a separate nozzle for a fast spray to clean the tip of the gun.

 

The Aerosol Expanding Foam Cleaner can also be used to easily remove uncured foam from materials or tools. The foam cleans both standard and Fire Rated foams and makes cleaning up faster and easier after installing plasterboard and other jobs using foam.

 

Air Seal Expanding Foams

 

We also supply expanding foams to use as air-tight gap fillers, such as in joints where movement is expected. It can be used in a wide range of joint types such as door perimeter joint seals, airtight windows, floor to wall and wall to ceiling joints.

 

The foam has excellent elasticity properties which enables up to 50% movement capability to protect the seal when movement occurs. In addition to providing airtightness, the foam provides acoustic dampening and can be used at temperatures as low as -3°C.

 

We have three different types of expanding foam:

 

FM330 Tremco Illbruck Pro Foam Air Seal (high performance PU foam with excellent acoustic and airtight performance).

 

EF/A Aerosol Expanding Foam (high expansion polyurethane foam for filling voids around doors, ducts, etc.).

 

EF/G Expanding Foam Gun Applied (high expansion polyurethane foam for filling voids around doors, ducts, etc.).

 

We supply all of these products in cases of 12 providing excellent value for money for these high-quality foams.
