WM 5X00IN Working With Body Foam Filler: Processing

Information:  Always observe the relevant work safety regulations when working with the foam filler.

→ Wear personal protective gear.

→ Ventilate the work area well.

→ Never ingest or inhale.

→ Read specific information on the Hazard Sheet.

→ Do not smoke, eat or drink in the work area.

Information:  The work area must be free of dust and grease.

Remove loose parts.

Do not wet the area beforehand.

Observe temperature limits: 

• Can and ambient temperature: 10-35°C 
• Optimal temperature: 18-23°C 

Information:  Apply sparingly since the volume of the foam filler will expand by approx. 50-100% in open areas and by approx. 100-200% in cavities. Approx. 0.25 liters of foam volume is produced per second of foam time (free-foaming). The foam filler is silver-grey. Remove fresh foam residues immediately with PU cleaner. Hardened foam residues can only be removed mechanically afterwards. Always remove foam from the can following activation.

• Activation process: 
  1. Break open the seal on the activation lid.
  2. Use a piece of wire to pull the activation lid out as far as it will go (approx. 11 cm up to the notch).
  3. Break off the wire at the required rupture point (notch) over the valve.
  4. Screw plastic adapter into the valve.
  5. Shake can vigorously up and down (approx. 20 times).
  6. Release foam downwards out of the can with the valve.
• Subsequent work: 

  The hardened foam filler can be processed further by sanding, cutting or sawing. It can be painted or varnished.
