376 10th ST RES21-0373 Carlisle Spray FoamAPPLICATION GUIDE OPEN CELL FOAMSealTite PRO OPEN CELL SealTite PRO Open Cell is suitable for application to most construction materials including but not limited to wood, masonry, concrete, and metal. All surfaces to be sprayed with foam should be clean, dry, and free of dew or frost. All metal to which the foam is to be applied must be free of oil, grease, etc. Multiple layers can be applied to reach the desired thickness and R-value. As with all spray polyurethane foam systems, improper application techniques should be avoided. Examples of improper techniques include, but are not limited to, off ratio material and spraying into or under rising foam. Potential results of improperly installed spray polyurethane foam include dangerously high reaction temperatures that may result in ﬁre and offensive odors that may or may not dissipate. Improperly installed foam must be removed and replaced with properly installed spray polyurethane foam. It is the responsibility of the applicator to thoroughly understand all equipment technical information and safe operating procedures that pertain to a spray polyurethane foam application. Application Parameters Storage Temperature 50°F – 80°F In Use Temperature 80°F – 90°F Ambient Air Temperature 40°F – 120°F* Substrate Temperature 40°F – 120°F* Moisture Content of Substrate Less Than 19% * For cold weather substrates below 40°F refer to the spray process section on page 2. Mixing Requirements Resin (B side) Mix on high for 30 minutes prior to use. Mixer speed may be reduced to low for remainder of the application process. Continuously mix with a 3 blade mixer during use for best results and highest yields. Processing Requirements All material must be a minimum of 80°F before dispensing. 100 Enterprise Drive • Cartersville, GA 30120 • 844.922.2355 www.carlislesﬁ.com Equipment Settings Pre-Heaters: (A) Component - ISO 115°F – 140°F These are recommended “Initial” Settings.

Pre-Heaters: (B) Component - Resin 115°F – 140°F Hose Heat 115°F – 140°F Fluid Pressure 1,000 – 1,500 psi - Dynamic Mixing Ratio 1:1 By Volume Recommended Mix Chamber/ Module Size:10 – 15 Lbs./Minute (i.e. 01-GRACO AR4242) APPLICATION GUIDELINES: Polyurethane foam systems should be processed through commercially available spray equipment designed for that purpose by a qualiﬁed professional applicator. The proportioning equipment must be capable of maintaining all designated ratios, temperature settings, etc. as shown in the settings chart. The gun should be of the internal mix type, which provides thorough blending of the two components. The equipment shall be of the heated airless type capable of maintaining 160°F at the gun by use of both primary heaters and heated hoses. The use of 2:1 transfer pumps is recommended for supplying the liquid components to the Proportioner. It is the responsibility of the professional applicator to thoroughly understand all equipment technical information and safe operating procedures that pertain to a spray polyurethane foam application. PROPER STORAGE OF RAW MATERIALS: Shelf life is six (6) months from date of manufacture when stored in original unopened containers at 50°F to 80°F. Store in a dry and well- ventilated area. Raw materials must be kept warm. Cold chemicals can cause poor mixing, pump cavitation, or other process problems due to higher viscosity at lower temperatures. The material will need to be conditioned between 70°F to 90°F for 48 hours before use. Avoid storing drums on concrete or metal ﬂoors in cold (winter) conditions. Do not store in direct sunlight. Keep drums tightly closed when not in use. By Mike Jones at 10:00 am, Jan 20, 2022 MATERIAL HANDLING: Due to the reactive nature of these components respiratory protection is mandatory. The vapors and liquid aerosols present during application and for a short period thereafter must be considered – and appropriate protective measures taken – to minimize potential risks from overexposure through inhalation, skin, or eye contact. These protective measures include adequate ventilation, safety training for installers and other workers, use of appropriate personal protective equipment, and a medical surveillance program. It is imperative that the applicator read and become familiar with all available information on proper use and handling of spray polyurethane foam. Additional Information is available at carlislesﬁ.com or by contacting the Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation Technical Services dept. of Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT: Spraying of polyurethane foam results in the atomizing of the components to a ﬁne mist. Inhalation and exposure to the atomized particles must be avoided. Spraying of polyurethane foam results in the atomizing of the components to a ﬁne mist. Inhalation and exposure to the atomized droplets must be avoided. Applicators must use personal protective equipment recommended by the Center for Polyurethanes Industry for use in high-pressure spray foam application. Precautions include, but are not limited to: a. Full-face mask or hood with fresh air source b. Fabric coveralls c. Non-permeable gloves d. Solvent-resistant gloves when handling new materials and cleaning solvents MECHANICAL VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation requires that a mechanical ventilation system be utilized in a workplace where SealTite spray polyurethane foam is applied. The requirement for this ventilation system is at a minimum ventilation rate during spray application and for a period of 24 hours after the spray application is complete. The mechanical ventilation system to be used in the workspace needs to be able to exhaust air directly to the exterior of the building at a minimum rate of 0.3 Air Changes per Hour (ACH). The volume of the workspace would need to be determined for system design. If, for example, the volume of the workspace is 4,000 ft3 then the minimum capacity of the ventilation system equals 4,000 ft3 x 0.3 ACH = 1,200 ft3/h = 20 ft3/min (cfm). Note that 0.3 ACH is a minimum ventilation rate at which most commercial ventilation fans can easily achieve. It is recommended that this level be exceeded. More ventilation utilized in the workspace the better. Further information can be found in the “Guidance on Ventilation During Installation of Interior Applications of High-Pressure Spray Polyurethane Foam” available from the American Chemistry Council, Spray Foam Coalition. SPRAY PROCESS: For application to cold weather substrates, the use of cold weather techniques may be required. During cold weather application the thermal shock to the open cell may cause leveraging from the substrate, pocketing, voiding and separation from the studs. Note: spraying to colder substrates can greatly reduce yield. It is always recommend to heat the building and substrate to ensure proper yield and best physical properties. Recommended cold weather techniques include but are not limited to: a. Warm the substrate with a thinner 1–3" lift, allow to cool before applying a second lift. b. Picture framing the bay before or after the warming pass will promote better adhesion. c. Spraying up to but not on the studs to prevent the foam from “leveraging” from the substrate. d. Spraying thinner passes to achieve desired thickness. As with all spray polyurethane foam systems, improper application techniques should be avoided. Examples of improper techniques include, but are not limited to, application to an improperly prepared substrate, application outside of the recommended substrate conditions, spraying with improperly maintained equipment. Every attempt should be made to not spray into or under rising foam. Spraying into or under rising foam can create elongated cell structure leading to dimensional stability concerns, and the potential for foam shrinkage and or cracking foam. Polyurethane foam not applied at the correct equipment settings and application parameters may result in polyurethane foam with poor physical and adhesion properties. Any polyurethane foam applied off-ratio must be completely removed and replaced with properly installed spray polyurethane foam. It is the responsibility of the applicator to thoroughly understand all equipment technical information and safe operating procedures that pertain to a spray polyurethane foam application. SealTite PRO Open Cell insulation is a combustible material with a maximum in-service working temperature of 180°F. SealTite PRO Open Cell should not come into direct contact with high heat emitting devices, chimneys, ﬂues, etc. Refer to the heat emitting device manufacturers Applicators must use personal protective equipment recommended by the Center for Polyurethanes Industry for use in high-pressure spray foam application. Please visit www.spraypolyurethane.org for additional information on appropriate personal protection equipment selection and use. SAFE HANDLING OF LIQUID COMPONENTS: When removing bungs from containers use caution, contents may be under pressure. Loosen the small bung ﬁrst and let any built up gas escape before completely removing. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. For further information refer to “MDI-Based Polyurethane Foam Systems: Guidelines for Safe Handling and Disposal” publication AX-119 published by the Alliance For The Polyurethanes Industry, Arlington, VA. DISSIMILAR RESINS: When changing the “B” side (resin) to another type of spray polyurethane foam, it is very important that the supply hoses, recirculation lines and drum pumps are completely drained. Any resin on the drum pump must be completely removed before inserting into the drum of new material. Mixing of dissimilar product types (particularly closed cell into open cell) will contaminate the resin in the new and/or old drum. It is the responsibility of the applicator to follow this guideline to avoid contaminating the resin. WARNING: EXPOSURE MAY OCCUR EVEN WHEN NO NOTICEABLE ODOR IS ENCOUNTERED. 100 Enterprise Drive • Cartersville, GA 30120 • 844.922.2355 www.carlislesﬁ.com OPEN CELL FOAMSealTite PRO OPEN CELL recommended clearance from combustible materials. A minimum of 3" clearance should be maintained around recessed lighting ﬁxtures. High intensity heat sources such as welding or cutting torches must not be used in close proximity to any polyurethane foam. Large masses of spray polyurethane foam should be removed to an outside safe area, cut into smaller pieces, and allowed to cool and dowse with water if possible before discarding into a trash receptacle. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUBSTRATES CONDITIONS: Applicators must recognize and anticipate climatic conditions prior to application. Ambient air, substrate temperature and moisture are all critical determinants of foam quality. Variations in ambient air and substrate temperature will inﬂuence the chemical reaction of the two components, directly affecting the expansion rate, amount of rise, yield, adhesion and the resultant physical properties of the foam insulation. It is the foam applicator’s responsibility to ensure the system is being applied within physical parameters. Proper applications may require adjustments to one or more of the following: spray techniques, substrate, application, or job site temperature. SealTite PRO Open Cell is suitable for application to most construction materials including wood, masonry, concrete, and metal. All surfaces to be sprayed with foam should be clean, dry and free of dew or frost. Metal substrate must be free of any surface residue such as oil, grease, etc. Substrate temperature at the time of the SealTite PRO Open Cell application is recommended between 40°F to 120°F. If spraying below 40°F refer to the spray process section or contact the Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation Technical Services department prior to application. The warmer the surface, the better the adhesion and yield. The presence of moisture will greatly affect the physical characteristics of the polyurethane foam. The moisture content of the substrate should not exceed 19%. Polyurethane foam cannot be applied to any substrate that has surface moisture such as rain, condensation, dew, frost, etc. The moisture acts as a blowing agent that will react with the “A” side of the system. This can result in off-ratio polyurethane foam with poor physical and adhesion properties. Any polyurethane foam applied during these conditions must be completely removed and the substrate allowed to thoroughly dry prior to a new application. Cold weather temperature application may require changing of spray technique, material temperatures, application temperatures, substrate preparation and environmental conditioning. Consult a Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation Technical Representative for details. PROXIMITY TO HEAT SOURCES: Keep a minimum distance of three (3) inches between SealTite PRO Open Cell and heat sources such as combustion appliance ﬂues, recessed light ﬁxtures, insulation contact rated (IC) light ﬁxtures, ﬁreplace ﬂues, etc. FINISHED FOAM PROTECTION: The ﬁnished surface of the sprayed polyurethane foam should be protected from the adverse effects of direct exposure of ultraviolet light from the sun. This exposure will cause dusting and discoloration. Protective coatings designed for use with polyurethane foams are available from Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation. SKIN EXPOSURE: Immediately remove any clothing soiled by the product. Immediately wash skin with water and soap and rinse thoroughly. Remove breathing apparatus only after contaminated clothing have been completely removed. In case of irregular breathing or respiratory arrest provide artiﬁcial respiration. First Aid responders should pay attention to self- protection and use the recommended protective clothing. INHALATION: Supply fresh air or oxygen; call for doctor. EYE CONTACT: Immediately rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. Consult a doctor and the SDS sheet for proper treatment. AFTER SWALLOWING: Immediately call a doctor.
