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.

2.7.2 “B” Chemical, POLYOL

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 accordance with federal,

state, and local regulations.

2.8 Cautions

2.8.1 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).

2.8.2 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.

2.8.3 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 recom-

mended in all applications that the foam be protected

by approved facings and coatings.

2.8.4 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 DuPont for

instructions.

2.8.5 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.

2.8.6 Isocyanate Contamination

Isocyanate and water do not mix, and this can happen

even from the water in the air. The material will solidify

and then the gun and hose will be unusable. The best

thing to do is to take care of the guns and hoses by

using the entire kit within 30 days of opening.

WARNING: Water reacts aggressively with isocyanate

(“A” chemical/ISO). Reactions within a conﬁned space

such as within a hose may present a safety concern.

Even small amounts of water vapor may cause a block-

age or an adverse reaction. Water carried within the

polyol (“B” chemical/POLY) hose to the point where

blending with isocyanate occurs must be avoided.

2.8.7 Conﬁned Space

When preparing a site for spray foam, all considerations

for potential conﬁned spaces must be taken and all

OSHA requirements must be met if applicable.

2.9 Training

DuPont does not recommend use of Froth-Pak

™

Spray Foam

Insulation and Sealant Kits without having completed the

OSHA requirements for respiratory protection (i.e. routine

health exams and ﬁt testing, cartridge change out schedule,

required OSHA documentation), having completed review of

the instructions herein, and having reviewed the Safe Use and

Handling presentations available at: https://www.dupont.com/
