Application
- Installation of windows of all types made of PVC, wood, aluminum (especially large and non-standard designs) with high requirements for soundproofing and heat insulation.
- Filling the assembly seams of door frames.
- Durable elastic filling of cracks, voids and apertures of pipes and risers.
- Soundproofing and sealing of partitions and walls as well as joints in building elements with extended movements.
Mounting technique
- All surfaces must be cleaned from grease, dust and dirt before use. To achieve the optimal foam structure and shorten the polymerization time, it is recommended to slightly moisten the surfaces with water from sprayer.
- The SoundFlex foam bottle should be kept at room temperature. Shake the bottle thoroughly for 20 seconds, then screw on the foam gun. Due to high density of MAXFORTE foam only special high-pressure guns can be used.
- Hold the bottle with the valve down and fill the seam bottom-up partially (approximately for 50-70% of its volume) leaving the space for the foam expansion. After polymerization is complete remove mechanically the excess foam with a knife.
- After the works are finished turn off the dispensing valve of the gun.
- Dried foam should be protected from the UV radiation (sunlight) exposure by painting, coating with silicone sealant or plastering.
