Users who have used styrofoam should know that the styrofoam will immediately foam in a foam state after applying the styrofoam.

Users who have used styrofoam should know that the styrofoam will immediately foam in a foam state after applying the styrofoam. Once it reacts with moisture or water in the air, it will slowly solidify. When in use, you can choose between tube type and gun type. If it is a small area joint filling, pipe type can be chosen. If it is a large-scale filling, you can choose the gun type.

1. What should I do if I can't use up all the foam adhesive at once?

What if it's a single component foam adhesive that can't be used up in one go? It can be cleaned immediately with a cleaning agent, then sealed and placed in a cool and ventilated place. Seal well, it is recommended to use up the remaining foam glue in the jar within three months. If it exceeds three months, once the foam adhesive solidifies, it cannot be used anymore.

If it is a two-component foam adhesive, it cannot be used up in one go, and the remaining will slowly solidify upon contact with air and cannot be used again. It can be said that this adhesive is disposable and cannot be reused. This requires users to make predictions during the glue adjustment process, and once it is adjusted, it should be used up and not wasted. If you are a decoration company or a door and window factory, it is recommended to cooperate with strong suppliers, which will be more reassuring. For example, Shanghai Weigu focuses on the research of foam adhesive and provides customized foam adhesive application solutions. The products have good performance, large foaming volume, and high hardness, and are widely used in industries such as door and window construction, automobile and high-speed rail. Shanghai Weigu is a major participant in the formulation of standards for the foam adhesive industry.

2. What is the curing time of foam adhesive?

After construction is completed, the foam adhesive will react with moisture when exposed to the air. At room temperature, the surface drying time of foam adhesive is generally around 10 minutes, and the complete curing time is usually around 1 hour. If the ambient temperature rises, the curing time will accelerate accordingly.

3. Can foam adhesive cure at low temperatures?

There are some high-quality polyurethane foam adhesives or winter formula foam adhesives that can cure at low temperatures. This type of foam adhesive has good performance, low temperature resistance, and can achieve good sealing and filling effects even in cold winter conditions. However, when using foam adhesive in winter, the curing time is generally slightly longer, and construction personnel need to be patient.
