SoudaFoam Door & Window Professional Foam
Soudafoam Door & Window is a minimal expansion, one component, moisture curing professional PU foam.
SoudaFoam Door & Window Professional Foam is a polyurethane foam from Soudal. Soudal lists it for installing window and door frames, filling cavities, sealing openings in roof construction. Soudal gives the application temperature as 41 to 95 °F, which the product and the surface both have to meet on the day. Cranco carries it, and which counter has it on the day changes, so ask at the counter.
Soudafoam D&W is Soudal's low-expansion moisture-curing polyurethane foam for window and door frames. Soudal's own reason for the low expansion is plain: it will not bow or bend a frame. It skins in 7 to 8 minutes, is dust free after 20 to 25, and meets ASTM C-1620, ASTM E-84, AAMA 812-04, AAMA 812-10, UL 723 and UL 1715.
It goes on between 41 and 95 °F and holds from -40 to 194 °F once cured. Cranco carries Soudal at Concord, Barrie and Mississauga. Call the branch to confirm the colour and size in stock, and the price.
