Questions and Answers for Touch 'n Foam 600 ft. Board Polyurethane 2-Component Spray Foam Kit

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry. DAP Touch 'n Foam and similar low pressure closed cell spray polyurethane foams are only code approved for a maximum application thickness of 2", accordingly, an R49 rated application would not be possible to achieve with the use of this product alone. To achieve an R49 rating, 2" of DAP Touch 'n Foam low pressure foam would be applied, allowed to cure and then supplemented with batt/loose blown/board insulation to achieve the final desired R Value. Alternately, professionally applied high pressure spray polyurethane foam could be used.

As indicated in the product usage instructions (as well as online video resources), under Section 3: Shutdown and Storage between Uses: Partially used foam kits can be reused within 30 days of the initial application by adhering to these instructions: 1. Close the cylinder valves by turning clockwise. 2. Do not drain chemical from the hoses. 3. Push the trigger safety into the locked position. 4. Remove the used nozzle, but DO NOT DISCARD. 5. Wipe the applicator barrel with a clean cloth, making sure the chemical exits are clean. Do not use solvent. 6. Apply more lubricant to the O-ring on the applicator barrel. 7. Re-attach the used nozzle, which will prevent air and moisture from entering the hoses. 8. After 7 days of non-use, remove the used nozzle, dispense a small amount of liquid, then wipe clean and re-seal with the used nozzle. 9. Store partially used products at room temperature (60°– 90°F / 16°– 32°C) in a dry area. Do not expose to open flame or temperatures above 120°F (49°C). 10. Products must be re-warmed to 70°– 90°F (21°– 32°C) before re-use. Failure to strictly adhere to these instructions will result in reusability issues.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry and for your interest in the DAP Touch ‘n Foam products. The use of spray foams in overhead applications can be challenging. Please be sure to use proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and to tarp/protect the work area (in the event that foam drips from the application site). Be sure to conduct a test application prior to proceeding, to ensure that your application technique is producing the desired results. When applying overhead, we recommend spraying at a 45-degree angle to the plane of the work surface (not directly overhead). It is also recommended to apply multiple thin layers, rather than one large application, this minimizes waste and facilitates a complete fill and full cure. Be sure to verify compliance with your applicable local codes before proceeding. Should you wish to discuss your intended project or have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.
