DEWALT TriggerFoam Pro STANDARD Polyurethane Expanding Foam Owner’s Manual

DEWALT TriggerFoam Pro STANDARD Polyurethane Expanding Foam

Product Information

The TriggerFoam Pro – Standard is a polyurethane expanding foam that is dispensed through a special gun. It allows the user to control the rate of flow and the size of the bead for precise placement. This foam can be used for filling, sealing, and insulating in a wide variety of applications. It has multiple features and benefits including blocking drafts, stopping leaks, saving energy, adhering to all types of construction materials, deadening sound, acting as a buoyancy material once cured, controlling radon, helping confine asbestos fibers, and can be used in HVAC applications.

Product Usage Instructions

To use the TriggerFoam Pro – Standard, follow these installation procedures:

1. Ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles.
2. Attach the TriggerFoam Pro Deluxe Metal Gun to the canister of foam.
3. Hold the gun at a 45-degree angle and apply the foam by pullingthe trigger. Adjust the rate of flow and size of the bead according to your needs.
4. Fill, seal, or insulate the desired area. The foam will expand and cure over time.
5. After use, clean the gun and accessories with TriggerFoam Pro Cleaner.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• TriggerFoam Pro is a one part polyurethane expanding foam which sets into its final form by using moisture present in the air. When installing the foam, consideration should be given to the 2-3 times expansion of the foam after it leaves the nozzle. The surface of the foam initially dries within 1-5 hours and becomes fully cured in 12-15 hours. TriggerFoam Pro sets well on ordinary surfaces such as concrete, brick, metal, etc. Surfaces do not require preparation and can also be damp. After installation, it is recommended that a full 24 hours elapse prior to scraping, sanding, staining or painting. The foam has a R-5 equivalent value when used in place of traditional installation methods.
• TriggerFoam Pro is dispensed through a special gun that allows the user to control the rate of flow as well as the size of the bead for more precise placement of the product, allowing it to be used in awide variety of applications. Use it to fill, seal or insulate. It blocks drafts, stops leaks, saves energy, adheres to all types of construction materials, deadens sound, acts as a buoyancy material once cured, controls radon, helps confine asbestos fibers, and can be used in HVAC applications.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

• Remove any dirt, dust, grease and any other loose debris from the building elements surface prior to applying TriggerFoam Pro. It is helpful to dampen the surface to enhance TriggerFoam Pro’s ability to bond prior to dispensing.
• Remove the cap of the aerosol can to reveal the plastic threaded connection and valve stem. Select a TriggerFoam Gun and attach to the can by engaging the gun’s matching threads and turning clockwise until tightened. Be careful not to overtighten.
• Shake can well and follow the arrows on the label indicating the direction of use. Turn the can over as suggested by the arrows. The TriggerFoam Pro Gun is now effectively at the “bottom” of the can.
• Prior to dispensing TriggerFoam Pro, open the screw located at the rear of the gun by turning counterclockwise (initially about 1/4 turn), and then pull the trigger. Adjusting the screw will control the size of the dispensed bead of foam. Varying pressure on the trigger will control the rate of flow. Caution: do not completely remove the screw at the rear of the gun while connected to a “live” can of TriggerFoam.
• It is not necessary to exhaust the entire contents of the can. When finished applying TriggerFoam Pro, the screw at the rear of the gun can be tightened to halt further flow. Do not remove the TriggerFoam Pro gun from the can. Peeling cured foam off the end of the gun’s nozzle and reopening the screw allows for use of the remaining contents at a later time.
• While the application is ongoing, remove the exhausted can and immediately mount a new can of TriggerFoam Pro onto the gun while it still contains wet, uncured foam. When the job is done and the last can of TriggerFoam Pro is exhausted, immediately unscrew the gun from the can and attach a well-shaken can of TriggerFoam Pro Cleaner. Two or three quick squirts of TriggerFoam Pro Cleaner through the gun while the foam is sill wet and uncured is recommended to keep the gun clean and ready for the next application. Completely emptied cans of TriggerFoam Pro can be discarded with common construction waste. Cured foam can only be removed mechanically.
