PolyFoam Adhesive 240

PolyFoamTM Adhesive 240 is a two-part spray applied polyurethane foam developed to adhere insulation board and felt-backed single-ply roofing to a variety of substrates. The cure has been adjusted to allow repositioning of the adhered materials for up to ten minutes after application.

SUBSTRATES

Currently known compatible bonding surfaces include plywood, waferboard, wood fiber recovery board, tar and gravel built-up, concrete, urethane foam, isocyanurate board, polystyrene bead board, extruded polystyrene board, SPS asphalt sheet and primer coated corrugated metal roof sheet. Substrate must be dry and free of dirt, grease, release agents, loose or damaged coating or other contaminants.

EQUIPMENT

One-to-one proportioning unit capable of maintaining 110° to 130°F (45° to 54°C) operating temperature and pressure between 1000 and 2000 psi. (6.9 and 13.8 MPa) Two-to-one transfer pumps may also be required to adequately supply the metering pump. Spray guns normally used for the application of other types of Polyurethane Foam can be used to apply PolyFoamTM Adhesive 240. See PolyFoam Spray Guide for additional information.

REGULATORY

PolyFoam Adhesive 240 contains no VOC's, CFC's or HCFC's and will not harm the ozone layer. The "B" Component contains 25% post-consumer recycled material.
