What to do if polyurethane foam becomes brittle and hollow after curing
Foam caulking agentcommonly known as foam glue,is a polyurethanethat relies on moisture to cureelastic sealing foam Material. In the usual construction of foam caulking agents, I don’t know if you have encountered this phenomenon. After the foam glue is cured, there will be large cells and it will become brittle. Soft, or producing large bubbles or even cavities? This is related to the foaming principle of styrofoam.
Foam glue Foaming principle: It reacts with water in the air to generate carbon dioxide to foam. . Therefore, the reason for the formation of large bubbles is: the humidity at the construction site is low, resulting in slow reaction. Cutting or pressing the bubbles before the full reaction occurs, resulting in large local bubbles. Solution: 1, if the humidity of the construction environment is lower than 45% , it is recommended to use a watering can to sprinkle water before construction. 2. Control and adjust the soaking time according to the specific situation. It is recommended to wait until the foam reaches a non-sticky state. , wait about two minutes before cutting or soaking.
In fact, you need to wait until the foam is completely foamed before cutting or pressing. Otherwise, the reaction has not been completed or the foaming has not been completed, so proceed to the next step. , this will happen. Apply the solutions mentioned above to solve the problem perfectly.
