Directions:
Tools Typically Required:
Utility knife, painter’s tape or foil for protecting surfaces.
Safety Precautions:
Always wear eye protection, gloves and proper work clothes when using Loctite TITE FOAM. Wash hands after use. Cured
foam is difficult to remove from skin, clothing and other substrates. May discolor skin.
Surface Preparation:
Ensure all surfaces are clean and free from dirt, dust, oil and other contaminants likely to impair adhesion. Surfaces can be
moist but not frosted or iced. Cover surfaces not intended to be foamed. To ensure full and even curing of the foam on porous
substrates (ie. brickwork, concrete), moisturize surfaces with water spray before application.
General Preparation:
The temperature of the working area should be between 23°F (-5°C) and 95°F (35°C). The temperature of the product should
be between 41°F (5°C) and 86°F (30°C). When working in cold conditions, can should be stored at room temperature for at least
12 hours before use. Shake can vigorously before use for 30 seconds (15-20 times minimum). Screw the foaming straw to the
valve.
