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
MSDS, call Dow at 1866583BLUE (2583) or contact your local building inspector. In an emergency, call 19896364400 in the U.S. or 15193393711 in Canada. When air sealing buildings, ensure that combus-
tion 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.

Spray Polyurethane Foam contains isocyanate, hydrofluorocarbon blowing agent and polyol. Read the instructions and Material Safety Data Sheets 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 effective, 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 affect moisture and the potential for mold formation. No material supplier including Dow can give assurance that mold will not
develop in any specific system.

What You Should Know About R-values
Table 2 shows the R-value of this insulation. R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the
insulating power. Compare insulation R-values before you buy.
There are other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends mainly on the climate you live in.
Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend upon the climate, the type and size of your house, the amount of
insulation already in your house, and your fuel use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost
you more than what you’ll save on fuel.
To get the marked R-value, it is essential that this insulation be installed properly.
