abe® filler foam

• Excellent adhesion to most construction materials 
• Expands up to 50 times its original volume 
• Fast curing 
• Self moulding to surface irregularities 
• For internal and external applications 
• Gives effective insulation against damp and draught and is completely water resistant 
• Flexible applicator nozzle allows easy access into difficult areas 
• Ozone friendly propellant in accordance with the 1987 protocol

Clean surfaces of dust, loose particles and grease. It is important to note that moisture assists the foams adhesion, therefore moisten surfaces thoroughly but do not allow standing water to occur. If required, areas adjacent to the joint should be masked with tape to prevent contamination of substrates. Masking tape should be removed once the material has fully cured. 

No priming required.

Shake the contents of the can for about 30 seconds to mix the material thoroughly. 

The foam will expand +50 times its original volume. 

• Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Ensure hands are protected with gloves.
• Screw the applicator nozzle onto the valve. Holding the can in an upside down position, press the trigger on the applicator nozzle to extrude foam.
• After application remove the nozzle and clean with a pipe cleaner and cellulose thinners or acetone. To prevent blockage of the valve, insert moistened match stick or screw into the uncured foam in the valve. For reuse, remove the match stick or screw and the cured plug of foam will come away leaving the valve clean.
• abe^® filler foam should not be applied to Teflon coated surfaces or polyethylene.

Cellulose thinners or acetone may be used in the uncured state. 

Cured material can be cut, sawn or sanded. In areas where material is to be overpainted, the foam should be cut flush with adjoining substrates prior to painting. In situations where plastering or capping with sealant is required, the foam should be sufficiently recessed to allow for this. Where sealants are to be used in conjunction with the foam the adjacent substrates should be free from contamination by the foam.

abe^® filler foam is not resistant to UV radiation and should be covered if exposure to prolonged sunlight is anticipated

5°C to 25°C. 

When air temperature is below 0°C stand the can in warm water, not exceeding 30°C, to assist in the flow of foam. Do not use warmer water or open flame as this might affect the expansion qualities of the foam. Optimum application temperature (can and surface): +20°C.
