Dow Polyurethane Foam Insulation and Sealants
CAUTION: When cured, these products are combustible and will burn if exposed to open flame or sparks from high-energy sources. Do not expose to temperatures above 240ºF (116ºC). For more information, consult (Material) Safety Data Sheet
((M)SDS), call Dow at 1-866-583-BLUE (2583) or contact your local building inspector. In an emergency, call 1-989-636-4400 in the U.S. or 1-519-339-3711 in Canada. When air sealing buildings, ensure that combustion appliances, such as furnaces,
water heaters, wood burning stoves, gas stoves and gas dryers are properly vented to the outside. See website: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/homes/hip-ventilation.html. In Canada, visit:
http://archive.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/ibp/irc/bsi/83-house-ventilation.html.
FROTH-PAK™ Spray Polyurethane Foam contains isocyanate, hydrofluorocarbon blowing agent and polyol. Read the instructions and ((M)SDS) carefully before use. Wear protective clothing (including long sleeves), gloves, goggles or safety
glasses, and proper respiratory protection. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. It is recommended that applicators and those working in the spray area wear respiratory protection. Increased ventilation significantly
reduces the potential for isocyanate exposure; however, supplied air or an approved air-purifying respirator equipped with an organic vapor sorbent and a particulate filter may still be required to maintain exposure levels below ACGIH, OSHA,
WEEL or other applicable limits. For situations where the atmospheric levels may exceed the level for which an air-purifying respirator is eective, use a positive-pressure, air-supplying respirator (air line or self-contained breathing apparatus).
Spraying large amounts of foam indoors may require the use of a positive-pressure, air-supplying respirator. Contents under pressure.
Building and/or construction practices unrelated to building materials could greatly aect moisture and the potential for mold formation. No material supplier including Dow can give assurance that mold will not develop in any specific system.

The theoretical yield has become an industry standard for identifying certain sizes of two-component kits. Theoretical yield calculations are performed
in laboratory conditions, without taking into account the loss of blowing agent or the variations in application methods and types.
