SAFETY AND CONDITIONS
OF USE
• Read the instructions and
Material Safety Data Sheets
carefully before use.
• FROTH-PAK
™
spray polyurethane
foam contains isocyanate,
hydrofluorocarbon blowing
agent and polyol. Do not breathe
vapor or mist. Use only in well-
ventilated areas or with proper
respiratory protection. Supplied
air or an approved air-purifying
respirator equipped with an
organic vapor sorbent and a P100
particulate filter may 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
effective, use a positive-pressure,
air-supplying respirator (air line
or self-contained breathing
apparatus).
• Isocyanate is irritating to the
eyes, skin and respiratory system,
and may cause sensitization by
inhalation or skin contact.
• FROTH-PAK
™
foam will adhere to
most surfaces and skin. Do not
get foam on skin. Wear protective
clothing (including long sleeves),
gloves, and goggles or safety
glasses. Cured foam must be
mechanically removed or allowed
to wear off in time.
• The contents are under pressure.
• FROTH-PAK
™
foam should
not be used around heaters,
furnaces, fireplaces, recessed
lighting fixtures or other applications
where the foam may come in
contact with heat-conducting
surfaces. Cured FROTH-PAK
™
foam is combustible and will burn
if exposed to open flame or sparks
from high-energy sources. Do not
expose to temperatures above
240°F (116°C).
