What is the expanding foam?

Foam extension is a product that is designed to expand and harden when in contact with air. Classically comes in canisters with spray nozzles, which makes it easier to apply foam in a number of situations. There are a number of uses for this product, with most hardware suppliers store several types that can be used in many different applications. Most companies clearly present and recommend using their products on the packaging, although some consumers may think outside the box in terms of the ways of using this material.

This product is stored under high pressure. When the user activates the spray nozzle, the transmitted content emerges and begins to expand. As the content expands, they develop a foamy look and begin to harden. This foam can grow exponentially in size, which means that people must be careful when they use it to not be used too much. Latex, polyurethane and many other materials serve as a basis for this product and are available waterproof, POžarar and other special versions.

In construction, foam can be expanded as insulation, because the foam has some excellent insulation properties. It can also be used to seal the holes, while the expansion of the home sealant is also useful for minor repairs. It can be used around doors and window frames to create a solid seal and can also be used to connect holes used by insects and animals. Some types can also be used as an adhesive, with several companies producing foam adhesive.

People also use this material to produce castings of various objects. A small amount of expanding foam can be inserted into the cast and left to expand and create a replica of the object. The Prop Masters in the film and television often use it for this purpose to create light and cheap props that can be completed to look like stronger objects. Tendency to adapt to mold or object also makesThis material useful for customized products, with carriers expanding the foam packaging to protect fine items in transit.

A specialized type of expanding foam is used in fire suppression, especially with chemical fires. The foam is designed to quickly fill the room or place, prevent oxygen from reaching fire and control it quickly. Some fire suppression systems are designed to radiate expansion foam in the fire, and firefighters can also use foam tankers and portable foam cans to quickly apply fire foam.
