Application
The following are recommended tips for
cleaning foam in all common situations.
If foam in a gun is allowed to cure, the gun
will become completely useless, as no solvent will dissolve
PU Foam once cured. The following guidelines are given to
avoid unnecessary cost of replacement.
1. Gun foam may be left attached to a gun for
a maximum of 7 days after use. If left for longer, there is
a serious risk of the foam curing from the nozzle inwards or
propellant leaking out. If foam is left attached to the
gun, spray GUN FOAM CLEANER over the outside of the
discharge nozzle before storage to remove any residues which
may seize up the valve.
2. When you have finished using foam on a project, and do
not intend to use the gun again within 7 days, remove the
foam can (CARE – GLOVES/GOGGLES). When you have read the
usage/safety instructions on the can, attach GUN FOAM
CLEANER to your gun by screwing the canister onto the gun
adapter until it will go no further, taking care not to
cross thread or over tighten the
canister. Pull the trigger on the gun to
release the solvent into the gun barrel and discharge the
solvent into a suitable container for disposal. Only stop
discharging the cleaner when the solution being ejected from
the gun is completely clear. Leave the GUN FOAM CLEANER
attached to the gun for 5 minutes to allow the solvent in
the gun to work on the residues inside. Pull the trigger
once again until only clear solvent emerges. Leave for a
further 5 minutes and repeat this process 2 or 3 times until
the gun is completely clear.
The following directions will also help
prolong the life of your Gun.
i.
When replacing empty foam can with a full
one, always clean the threaded adapter ring on the gun with
GUN FOAM
CLEANER.
ii.
Never dismantle a gun.
iii.
Never try to clean a gun with water. This
will cure the foam instantly and leave the gun useless.
iv.
When using DIY grades, attach free red
nozzle to foam cleaner and squirt
v.
Foam down plastic nozzle until clean.
Use Foam cleaner to clean up spilled foam
immediately. Check compatibility with surfaces in question
before use.
