Frequently asked questions.

Is PUF an environmentally responsible option?

PUF does not contain CFCs, HFCs, or PFAS and is entirely water-blown. The reaction process utilizes carbon dioxide to form closed-cell bubbles.

Can PUF be installed on water?

Yes. PUF holds NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification for drinking water applications. Initiating installation on water is an effective approach.

Can PUF be shipped via air freight or parcel?

Yes. PUF is classified as a non-hazardous material for these shipping methods.

How cold is too cold?

The critical factor is the chemical temperature at mixing. The optimal temperature is approximately 70°F. Chemicals may be mixed at lower temperatures (resulting in slower reactions) or higher temperatures (resulting in faster reactions).

How hot is too hot?

Warmer chemicals accelerate reaction and expansion. If poured above 80°F, especially in direct sunlight, allow additional rest time for cooling between lifts.

What about storage?

PUF should be stored in a cool, dry environment. While storage temperatures can vary, prolonged freezing is not advised, as it may reduce yield.

What is the shelf life?

Reliable expansion and yield are typically maintained for up to six months.

What about fire safety?

Expanded PUF must be safeguarded against potential ground fires.

What is the recommended method for calculating product requirements?

Volume calculations in cubic feet or cubic yards (Width x Height x Length) are most effective.

Can PUF be used to plug pipes?

Yes. We like to call them “Pipe Killers!” Specific Foam Plug sizes are available for pipe abandonment.
