Polyurethane foam "Titan 65" is a one-component polyurethane mixture, which is intended for the installation of building materials and seals. It exhibits high adhesion to materials of the type:
- brick;
- plasters;
- concrete;
- wood;
- metals;
- glass;
- styrofoam;
- rigid as well as solid PVC.
Among its features: high heat-insulating sound-absorbing abilities, resistance to aging, as well as the emergence and further development of fungi and mold. Application of the composition is carried out using a gun, which guarantees the dosage speed and high accuracy of the work.
Cost-effectiveness
As practice shows, the foam output is very economical. Thanks to the use of a new generation of components and high extensibility, significant foam performance was achieved. From one bottle, the volume of which is 750 ml, you can get 40% more material. If we talk about specific figures, then we are talking about 60 liters of foam with free foaming and 100 linear meters of cracks. In the latter case, the area of the slots can reach 5 cm 2 . If you are interested in the length of the slots, then you can count on 170 linear meters. Moreover, in the section, the gap can be 3 cm 2 .
Specifications
Polyurethane foam "Titan 65", the technical characteristics of which should be of interest to you if you intend to use the material during the work, contains propane-butane and diphenylmethane diisocyanate, while the color of the material is light yellow. You can work with this material in the temperature range from +5 to +30 ° , while the minimum temperature can be 0 ° . You can count on the hardening time, which will be reached after a maximum of 12 minutes. While the minimum hardening value is 8 minutes, during this time it will reach a vacuum level. These values are true if the ambient temperature is approximately equal to 20 ° C, humidity - 60%.
Polyurethane foam "Titan", technical specifications, the GOST of which will be of interest not only to professionals, but also to private consumers, is characterized by a pre-treatment time, which is limited to 45 minutes, while the humidity can be 93%. Full hardening should be expected in a day, the thermal stability will be achieved after the completion of the hardening stage, for which it is necessary to maintain the temperature in the range from -60 to +100 ° .
You may also be interested in the density of the material, which is 25 kg / m 3 , or 0.025 g / cm 3 . Dimensional stability, or rather, shrinkage less than 3%, while the temperature can be +40 ° C, and humidity can reach 95%, this stage lasts for 24 hours. The material can absorb water in an amount of 1.5%, the foam reaches its maximum absorbency in 24 hours. The compressive and tensile strengths of this building foam are 0.07 and 0.22 MPa, respectively.
Before purchasing, consumers most often pay attention to the coefficient of thermal conductivity, in the described case it is 0.036 watts / mCal. Acetone can be used as a solvent, but it will only act before the start of the hardening phase. In order to calculate the required amount of material, it is important to pay attention to the performance characteristic, it is 65 l or 750 ml. If you want to use foam in structures that are exposed to a flame, you need to familiarize yourself with the combustibility characteristics: B3 (DIN 4102), as well as B2 (DIN 4102).
Basic properties
Polyurethane foam "Titan", the GOST of which is observed during manufacture and looks like 22695-77, should be used only after full familiarization with the basic properties. Thus, polyurethane is used as the base in the production, and the material itself has a specific odor at the hardening stage. Whereas after completion of this process, the smell of material does not emit.
During the work, the ambient temperature can be approximately 20 ° , it is not worth moving too far from the set value. Application should be carried out at a temperature not lower than -10 ° C. You can count on the fact that the foam will retain heat resistance over a fairly wide range of temperatures, which vary from -55 to +90 ° C. According to DIN 52451, according to which the production is carried out, the change in the volume of foam can be approximately 20%. But the tensile elasticity is 10%. The maximum width of the filling gap may be 30 mm.
Recommendations for use
Polyurethane foam "Titan", GOST, the technical specifications of which are observed during its manufacture and work, should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before starting work, the surface is cleaned and liberally moistened with water, and the foam bottle must be brought naturally to room temperature. Before use, shake it about 20 times, which is required to mix the components.
The protective cap is removed, and the cylinder is attached to the gun. During use, it must be held upside down. When the “Titan” mounting foam is used, you can adjust the volume of extruded foam, it is regulated by the intensity of pressing the nozzle or gun handle.
Slots should be filled to half the depth, as the material will increase in volume after completion of work. If you work with slots, the width of which is more than 5 cm, then their filling is carried out gradually, and the material is applied in layers.
Specialist advice
After use, the Titan polyurethane foam should be cleaned from the gun immediately after use, for this purpose a cleaning agent for the guns must be used. After the foam has hardened, it can be cut off, but the surface on which the material was applied should be protected from ultraviolet radiation, covered with sealant, plaster or paint.
Conclusion
After hardening foam "Titan" can only be removed mechanically, and before the hardening step, acetone or a special cleaning agent from the same manufacturer can be used as a solvent.
