without taking into account the loss of blowing agent or the variations in application methods
and types. Theoretical Yield is calculated at 1 thick.

Precautionary Statements
Froth-Pak
Foam will adhere to most surfaces and skin. Avoid
ALL skin contact. Wear gloves and protective clothing. Cured
foam is difficult to remove. Cured foam must be mechanically
removed or allowed to wear off in time.
WARNING: CURED FOAM IS COMBUSTIBLE AND WILL BURN
IF EXPOSED TO OPEN FLAME OR SPARKS FROM HIGH ENERGY
SOURCES. These products should not be sprayed where the
foam may come into contact with hot surfaces, such as heaters,
furnaces, fireplaces, or recessed lighting fixtures. The foam
should NOT be exposed to temperatures over 240 F (116 C).
Avoid overfilling restricted spaces. The reaction of these
chemicals causes expansion and may exert enough force to
cause an uncontrolled stream of foam, spraying the work
area and possibly the operator.
Froth-Pak
contains isocyanate, blowing agent and polyol.
Read all instructions and (M)SDS carefully before use. Wear
protective clothing and cover all skin (including long sleeves),
gloves, goggles or safety glasses, and proper respiratory
protection.
Froth-Pak
Foam will adhere to most surfaces and skin.
Avoid ALL skin contact. Wear gloves and protective clothing.
Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use only with adequate
ventilation.
Isocyanate is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system,
and may cause sensitization by inhalation or skin contact.
Contents are under pressure.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal protective equipment (PPE) used during the handling
of Froth-Pak
foam products must at a minimum include:
Protective clothing or impermeable coveralls, such as a
Tyvek
coverall suit, including long sleeves (no skin should
be exposed)
Chemical-resistant gloves that are coated with nitrile, butyl
rubber, neoprene or PVC Goggles or safety glasses, unless
using a full-face respirator
Proper respiratory protection, see section 2.2 of the manual.
PPE should be worn by:
Applicator
Anyone assisting applicator
Other workers in the room within 25 ft of the applicator
Anyone entering the spray area less than one hour post
spraying with proper ventilation
If PPE is contaminated during application, properly discard and
replace immediately. Do not consume or store food or tobacco in
the work area. Make sure to wash your hands and face before
eating or smoking after application.Protective clothing including
long sleeves, gloves, and goggles.
DO NOT breathe vapors or spray. Workers must be respirator fit
tested per federal (U.S. OSHA, Canada CCOHS) requirements.
Employers must have a documented respiratory and PPE plan
per federal requirements including considerations for frequency
of fit testing and health exams. Depending on the area of spray,
Safe Handling
WARNING: For Professional Use Only The Froth-Pak
cylinders contain isocyanate, blowing agent and polyols under pressure.
Read and follow the product manual and the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly MSDSs or Material Safety Data Sheets) carefully
before use. The safety precautions and personal protective equipment indicated below are designed to protect the user and allow
for the safe use and handling of the spray system. Follow all applicable federal, state, local and employer regulations.
Installation
Use Conditions
Complete operating instructions are provided with every
Froth-Pak
Foam Insulation purchase. Read all information
and cautions before application.
Check with local codes prior to use. If used in an exterior
setting, a coating must be applied for ultraviolet (UV)
protection.
Application
Froth-Pak
Foam may be used as an air barrier material for
wall/floor and roof/wall intersections in the exterior building
envelope when installed at a maximum thickness of 2 inches
by a width of 6 inches (the length is unlimited). Please see
ICC ESR-3228 for a full list of approved applications.
Avoid overfilling restricted spaces. The reaction of these
chemicals causes expansion and may exert enough force
to cause an uncontrolled stream of foam, spraying the work
area and possibly the operator.
Re-entry allowed after only one hour post-application with
proper ventilation after dispensing.
Removal
Cured foam is difficult to remove. Cured foam must be
mechanically removed or allowed to wear off in time.
Equipment
Dispensing gun/hose assembly and accessories included
in kit.

DuPont Polyurethane Foam Insulation and Sealants
CAUTION: When cured, these products are combustible and will burn if exposed to open flame or sparks from high-energy sources. Do not expose to temperatures above 240 F. For more information, consult (M)SDS call
DuPont at 1-866-583-2583 or contact your local building inspector. In an emergency, call 1-866-583-2583. When air sealing buildings, ensure that combustion appliances, such as furnaces, water heaters, wood burning
stoves, gas stoves and gas dryers are properly vented to the outside. See website: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/homes/hip-ventilation.html. In Canada visit: http://archive.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/ibp/irc/bsi/83-house-ventilation.html.

Spray Polyurethane Foam contains isocyanate, blowing agent and polyol. Read all instructions and (M)SDS carefully before use. Wear protective clothing and cover all skin (including long sleeves), gloves, goggles
or safety glasses, and proper respiratory protection. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. It is recommended that applicators and those working in the spray area wear respiratory protection.
Increased ventilation significantly reduces the potential for isocyanate exposure; however, supplied air or an approved air-purifying respirator equipped with an organic vapor sorbent and a particulate filter may still
be required to maintain exposure levels below ACGIH, OSHA, WEEL or other applicable limits. For situations where the atmospheric levels may exceed the level for which an air-purifying respirator is effective, use a
positive-pressure, air-supplying respirator (air line or self-contained breathing apparatus). Spraying large amounts of foam indoors may require the use of a positive pressure, air-supplying respirator. Contents under
pressure. Building and/or construction practices unrelated to insulation could greatly affect moisture and the potential for mold formation. No material supplier including DuPont can give assurance that mold will not
develop in any specific system.
