WARNING
Always read all operating, application and safety instructions before using any products. Use in conformance with all local, state, federal
and provincial regulations and safety requirements. Failure to strictly adhere to any recommended procedures and reasonable safety
precautions shall release ICP Group of all liability with respect to the materials or the use thereof. For additional information and location
of your nearest distributor, call ICP 1 330.753.4585 or 1 800.321.5585.
This product is organic, and therefore, is combustible. Consult local building codes for specific requirements regarding the use of cellular
plastics or urethane foam in construction. It is strongly recommended that the foam be protected by approved facings or coatings as
required by local building codes (see TDS for further information). The dispensing system is covered by various U.S. and foreign patents.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Wear protective glasses with side shields or goggles, nitrile gloves, and clothing that protects against dermal exposure. Recommend
dispensing product in a well ventilated area with certified respiratory protection; however, well ventilated exterior applications may
not need respiratory protection. It is the responsibility of the employer to complete a PPE evaluation and/or exposure assessment to
determine if respiratory protection is required. Read all instructions, ICP Product Stewardship Guidelines, and SDS (Section 8) prior to
use of any product.

TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES
The chart below provides a guideline for Storage Temperature, Process (Core) Chemical Temperature, Outside Application Tem-
perature and Surface Temperature. For specific Process (Core) Chemical Temperature (see the appropriate TDS). See product TDS
for specific temperature recommendations.
TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS
•
Proper chemical temperature is CRITICAL to the performance of any low pressure polyurethane foam system.
•
The recommended chemical temperature is 70–85°F (21–29°F), see TDS for product specific process (core) chemical temperature
recommendations.
•
During colder months it may take several days to warm the chemicals to the optimum temperature, especially if the cylinders
have recently been transported or stored in an unheated environment.
•
During warm weather, keep cylinders in an air conditioned location. NEVER store cylinders above 90°F (32°C) or below 60°F
(16°C). Cool cylinders with a misting fan or air conditioner.
CHEMICAL WARMING & COOLING
•
During colder months it may take up to several days
(depending on the size) to warm the chemicals to the recommended
Process (Core) Chemical Temperature (see appropriate TDS). See Figure 1.
•
During hotter months it may take several hours
(depending on
the size) to cool the chemicals to the recommended Process
(Core) Chemical Temperature (see appropriate TDS).
•
If the cylinders have recently been transported or stored in an unheated
environment, a temperature controlled “box” or a heated blanket is recommended for applications in order to store the refill sys-
tems at a consistent, controlled temperature prior to and during use. An acceptable storage “box” is nothing more than a small
room that is large enough to hold the system(s) being used or conditioned and is sufficiently insulated and heated to maintain
a consistent temperature of 80°F (27°C).
NITROGEN USAGE
•
Nitrogen bottles are required for pressurizing the refill systems. They may be obtained for a nominal fee from a local welding
supply house. NEVER use compressed or supplied air.
•
“T” nitrogen bottle (minumum 125 CF) is required size for System 17.
•
DO NOT USE compressed air to pressurize the system.
•
When nitrogen drops below 500 PSIG (3447.38 kPa) in the bottle, turn off the bottle and regulator and attach a full nitrogen
bottle.
