Tytan 65 polyurethane foam: advantages and scope
In a wide assortment of modern ready-made assembly mixtures, professional foam Tytan 65 from Selena Co. is particularly notable. S. A. Today, this foam has the best performance indicators among installation mixtures - 65 liters.
Specifications
"Tytan 65" is a one-component polyurethane mixture designed for the installation of building materials and seals. With maximum performance, the professional installation team “Tytan 65” has excellent technical characteristics in a number of other parameters:
- insulation - up to 61 dB;
- surface pretreatment time - at least 30 minutes;
- t ° of application - from +5 to + 30 ° С;
- t ° cylinder at work - from + 10 to + 30 ° C;
- water absorption (one day after application) - no more than 1.5%;
- fire resistance - F / B3;
- thermal conductivity - 0.03 W / m;
- tensile strength - 100 kPa;
- porosity - 65-75%.
The composition is realized in 750 ml cylinders, distributed using a special nozzle-pistol.
In addition to the basic composition, the company’s lineup includes winter versions of Tytan 65 foam, containing special modified additives that allow them to be used at lower temperatures.
Winter compositions include:
- professional winter foam "Tytan 65";
- "Professional ICE 65".
Having similar technical characteristics to the main composition, each of them has its own characteristics. Thus, a professional winter assembly composition can be used at air temperatures from -20 to + 30 ° С, while t ° of the cylinder itself with the composition must be at least + 5 ° С. It is necessary to treat the surface before applying the composition in 40 minutes.
Professional ICE 65 foam, in turn, is used at the same air temperature, but the cylinder itself can cool down to -5 ° C without affecting the efficiency of the process.
Even under extreme conditions, a film is formed on the surface of the assembly mixture ten minutes after extrusion.
Surface treatment should be done at least half an hour before work begins.
Special features
Due to its composition and use of the latest technologies in the production, professional installation foam “Tytan 65” has a number of advantages.
The main ones are:
- during the application of the compound, MDI (MDI) isocyanate vapors harmful to humans and the environment are not released;
- after solidification, the foam does not emit any hazardous substances, including formaldehyde and ammonia;
- when frozen, it does not exert strong pressure on the structures and does not violate their integrity;
- good level of sound and thermal insulation;
- sufficiently high resistance to moisture and mold fungus, which allows the use of foam in rooms with high humidity (swimming pools, saunas, baths);
- the ability after freezing to withstand temperatures from - 60 to + 100 ° C;
- fast readiness for preprocessing (at the optimum temperature) - after 30-50 minutes it is possible to cut off the excess.
In addition, all formulations of the series have good adhesion rates for most materials.
Where does it apply?
Both ordinary and winter professional foam "Tytan 65" is used for:
- installation of door frames and window frames;
- improve thermal and sound insulation;
- sealing seams and capping cavities in a variety of materials;
- connection of elements during construction;
- insulation roofing and wall panels;
- sealing and warming of water, heating and sewer pipes.
At the same time the assembly structure is perfectly fastened with surfaces from:
- wood;
- bricks;
- concrete;
- metals;
- glass;
- various types of PVC.
Excellent adhesion properties are also shown by foam on the plastered surface. The weakest adhesion composition is demonstrated on the surfaces of their polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone and Teflon.
Recommendations for use
In order to achieve the greatest effect from the use of Tytan 65 polyurethane foam, when working with it, professionals advise to follow a few simple rules:
- It is necessary to apply structure only on the prepared surface. Preparation consists in clearing of garbage, dirt, the exfoliated paint, oil, fat and dust. Also, when applied in the cold season on the surface should not be ice.
- Immediately before applying the foam, the surface should be moistened with water (provided that the ambient temperature is above 0 ° C).
- The optimum temperature of the foam canister is not lower than + 23 °. For heating to the required t °, it can be immersed in water at room temperature (about + 30 °) or left in the room for a day.
- Before use, the balloon is vigorously shaken for 10-20 seconds.At the same time, the valve should be lowered down - for more thorough mixing of the components.
- When filling the vertical slots, it is necessary to move in the direction from the bottom up.
- Zapenivat space is necessary in view of the expansion of the foam. To effectively seal the seams, it is enough to fill 1/3 of their depth.
- If after the completion of work in the tank foam remained, it must be used in the next 7 days.
- After the foam hardens, its surplus is removed mechanically.
- Frozen foam is protected from UV rays. This can be done with paint, plaster or sealing compounds.
It is important to remember that when installing door and window constructions, in addition to foam, special fasteners should be used to avoid deformation of the products.
Reviews
Numerous reviews of those who are professionally engaged in the construction or installation of windows and doors indicate that Tytan 65 polyurethane foam meets all the stated specifications. Users especially note its excellent adhesion with the most common building materials and the possibility of using it in extreme conditions.
No less important is the maximum efficiency of the composition.Despite the relatively high price, it allows you to quite well save on the installation or insulation works.
