How to Apply Versi-Foam®

Spray Technique

To operate the medium and large size Versi-Foam® Systems, turn the tank valves, click a nozzle into place, disengage the safety, and point the dispensing gun at your application target.  Pull the trigger - it's that easy.

For the best spray pattern, it is best to stand 18 to 24 inches away from your target.  You will control the velocity of the chemical flow by how far you pull the trigger of our patented U-Control dispensing gun.  Pull back at least 25% for better surface texture.  Be careful not to pull the trigger 100% right away, especially when the kit is newly opened.  As you dispense the foam, adjust your grasp to the level that best suits your needs.

Spray a strip around the perimeter of the area you wish to cover. With a back-and-forth motion of your wrist, fill in the area from top to bottom. The faster you move your wrist, the thinner the layer of foam. The foam will expand six times its original liquid volume, so be careful not to apply too much in one pass. The foam will be tack free to the touch in approximately 30 to 45 seconds.

If you see that you need heavier coverage after the first layer has fully cured, you may apply additional foam on top of the previous layer. If your application requires a thickness in excess of 1 inch, we recommend applying it in multiple passes. Applying too much foam in one pass may result in an uneven surface, and the foam may sag before curing completely.

Fan Spray Nozzle

Fan spray patterns can be achieved with a purchase of a spray tip accessory. PLEASE NOTE: If you choose the high density foam found in the Versi-Foam® System 10 and System 33, and you need to spray apply the foam to a surface, we strongly recommend the purchase of the fan tip accessory to achieve an acceptable spray pattern.

Filling a Gap

To caulk large gaps, simply run a bead of foam into the cavity. Place the tip of the nozzle at the edge of the cavity and slowly pull the trigger. Remember that the foam will expand six times its original liquid volume. If the foam cures, and you have not filled the cavity to your satisfaction, you can always add more foam. One layer will bond to the other. If you dispense too much foam, you can trim away with excess with a sharp knife.

Filling a Large Void

Polyurethane foam is an exothermic plastic. That means that it generates heat as it cures. Polyurethane foam is also an excellent insulation material. Therefore, if too much foam is dispensed into a large cavity, the foam around the outside of the cavity will insulate the heat generated from the core of the cavity, and combustion could occur.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that you dispense no more than four inches of foam in one application. Allow each layer to cure, and add foam to the top of it. One layer of foam will bond completely to the next.
