41 00... Installing A Cavity Sealing With 2-Component PU Cavity Foam: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, 2012 BMW 760Li, and 2011 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Sourcing reference for cavity foam (refer to BMW Parts Department).

IMPORTANT: The cavity foam may only be use for cavity sealing at the points at which cavity sealing is present as standard!

The following repair represents the replacement of a shaped part for the cavity sealing by the use of cavity foam.

This type of cavity sealing is used at points at which shaped parts cannot be used for repairs.

This is the case when large amounts of heat occur (e.g. due to welding, soldering or tin plating) in the direct vicinity or at the point of the standard cavity sealing.

It is not possible here to install shaped parts for the cavity sealing because of the fire risk!

To replace shaped parts with cavity foam at further locations, adopt the procedure shown here and adapt it to the relevant ratios.

It must be ensured that the cavity is completely sealed off.

NOTE: Check the accessibility for the spraying pipe of the cavity foam to the affected cavity after removing the defective parts.

Properties of cavity foam:

2-component PU foam, solvent-free.
Excellent flow capacity, enabling complete sealing of cavities.
Good strength, preventing slipping in cavities.
Low water absorption, preventing corrosion.
Ideal for use as insulating and sealing compound.
