2 .6 Ingestion
If swallowed, give large amounts of liquids . dO nOT induce vomiting .
Seek medical attention .
2 .7 Removal of Cured Foam on Skin
FROTH-PaK™ foam will adhere to most surfaces and skin . avoid all
skin contact . Wear gloves and protective clothing . Cured foam is
difficult to remove . Cured foam must be mechanically removed or
allowed to wear off in time .
2 .8 Overfilling Restricted Spaces
avoid overfilling restricted spaces . The reaction of these chemicals
causes expansion and may exert enough force to cause an uncontrolled
stream of foam, spraying the work area and possibly the operator .
2 .9 Chemical Information
For more specific information about the chemical components
“a” and “B”, refer to the appropriate SDS . KEEP OuT OF REaCH
OF CHIlDREn .
2 .10 Chemical Spills
Consult SDS section 6 for accidental Release Measures .
2.10.1 “A” Chemical
If “a” liquid spills from the tank, hose, or InSTa-FlO™ Gun,
provide proper ventilation, wear all PPE and isolate the spill area .
Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the
area . Dike the area and soak up the spill with an oil absorbent
material (vermiculite, sawdust, etc .) . neutralize the spillage area
with a solution of 90% water, 2% dishwashing detergent, and 8%
ammonia . The amount of this solution should be in excess of
the volume of the spill . allow the mixture to react for at least
10 minutes . Collect in an open top waste container and treat
with additional ammonia solution . Remove the container to a
safe and secure location that will not be accessible to individuals
without proper PPE, loosely cover, and allow it to stand at least
24 hours . Dispose of the waste container in accordance with
federal, state, and local regulations .
2.10.2 “B” Chemical
If the “B” chemical spills from the tank, hose, or InSTa-FlO Gun,
wear all PPE, dike and isolate the spill area . Keep unnecessary
and unprotected personnel from entering the area . Soak up the
residue from the surface with soap and water . Discard in accor-
dance with federal, state, and local regulations .
2 .11 Cautions
2.11.1 Storage Temperature
Recommended storage temperature:
60°– 80°F (16°–27°C) .
Storage below 60°F (16°C) is not recommended .
Do not store at temperatures above 120°F (49°C) .
2.11.2 Building Codes
In many areas, building codes may restrict the use of cellular
plastics or polyurethane foam in exposed, interior finishing
material applications . under certain application code, the use of
these materials may be prohibited . The foam produced by this
product is organic and may constitute a fire hazard if improperly
applied . Consult local building codes .
2.11.3 Surface Temperature Restrictions
Polyurethane foam should not be used in direct contact with
chimneys, heat vents, steam pipes, or other surface areas that
exceed 240°F (116°C) . The foam should not be left exposed or
inadequately protected for both interior and exterior finishing
materials . It is strongly recommended in all applications that the
foam be protected by approved facings and coatings .
2.11.4 Open Flame / Spark Source
Do not smoke or operate the system in close proximity
to an open flame or spark source . Ensure pilot lights are off .
Welding on or near cured polyurethane foam requires special
precautions . Consult The Dow Chemical Company for instructions .
2.11.5 excessive Foam dispensing
Do not apply excessive thicknesses at one time as this may result
in spontaneous combustion . For thickness greater than two
inches of cured foam, dispense foam in multiple layers, allowing
the heat from foaming to dissipate between sprayings .
2 .12 Training
It is recommended that product users receive spray foam training .
