Tytan Professional Foams: Types and Specifications

Professional Tytan Professional polyurethane foam is one of the most common materials used for large-scale construction or repair work. It is preferred not only by the company, but also by private craftsmen, for whom high quality repair is important. The manufacturer produces a whole line of professional tools, so that buyers can purchase goods for a particular type of work.

Tytan professional or pistol assembly sealant, unlike foam with a tube, is produced in specialized cylinders equipped with threads for screwing the dispenser gun. With the help of such a device it is possible to apply the composition to hard-to-reach places Using a gun, the builder will be able to quickly and accurately distribute the assembly weight. The use of such a sealant allows large-scale construction work with minimal material consumption.

Any professional foam is used only in conjunction with a gun, due to which the master can perform the following actions:

• adjust the optimal dosage of the material;
• adjust the feed rate of the mounting sealant;
• economical use of the product, since when the valve is released, the sealant supply is automatically stopped.

Unlike household foam professional has higher technical characteristics, such as:

• good performance - with a 750 ml aerosol can, up to 65 liters of foamed mass can be obtained;
• small secondary expansion, due to which the risks of deformation of the structure are excluded;
• high adhesion rates for any construction products - suitable for aerated concrete, metal, wood, brick, concrete and other products;
• fast polymerization;
• excellent sound insulation performance (up to 61 dB);
• resistance to high humidity and the formation of fungus.

Any type of mounting foams has some disadvantages. The disadvantages include poor resistance to solar radiation and precipitation. Due to the effects of such factors, the sealing seam may eventually crumble and become unusable. Other disadvantages of the material include its toxicity. However, work in gloves and a respirator significantly reduces the negative impact of harmful fumes on human health.

The manufacturer of mounting sealants produces several types of Tytan Professional foams.

• Fireproof (products labeled B1). Its main feature is resistance to ignition. Such material is capable for 6 hours not to ignite and not melt in case of fire. As well as a single-component fire-resistant mass is able to reliably isolate the room from the penetration of gas and smoke.
• Winter - is a two-component foam designed to work in extreme conditions. It is allowed to use at temperatures from -20 to +35 degrees. The improved formula of the composition allows not to heat the container before use and in the process of sealing.
• Summer - it is a foam designed for operation at positive ambient temperatures.In these materials there are no harmful components that have a destructive effect on the ozone layer.

As well as the manufacturer produces foam-glue 60 seconds. This is an innovative material designed for quick and easy installation of building products. It is used for gluing decorative elements, ceramic tiles, mineral wool, drywall, OSB slabs, aerated concrete structures. Foam-glue is able to glue the product for 1 minute. This material is easy to use and versatile. It can be used at low temperatures or high humidity. Glue is applied with a gun. Full polymerization of the applied mass occurs in a day.

Selena sells 750 ml and 300 ml polyurethane foam bottles.

Depending on the modification, the most important technical characteristics of the compositions are as follows:

• capacity from 55 to 65 liters - foam output directly depends on temperature parameters: on the package, the capacity is indicated when using a cylinder at a temperature of +20 degrees;
• secondary expansion is 45–70%;
• application temperature - from -20 to +35 degrees;
• preprocessing time - from 30 minutes;
• water absorption - after 24 hours less than 5%;
• fire resistance - B1 – B3.

Professional mounting foams are versatile materials. They are widely used in the repair and construction activities.

Such sealants are designed for the following tasks:

• sealing of various voids and seams with a size of more than 20 mm. The use of foam allows to eliminate cracks in the roof, around pipelines and other building structures. The result of the use of such material is the absolute tightness of the seams and air gaps;
• installation and fixing of door frames, window openings, balcony frames, wall panels, tiles. With foam sealant, it is no longer necessary to use dowels or anchors for fastening various products;
• warming of cold rooms. Using foam, you can strengthen the sheets of insulating material, while not reducing the heat transfer system;
• improvement of sound insulation of construction objects, car bodies.

Fire fighting foam is often used when installing fireproof doors. A seam made with a sealant will not allow smoke into the room. When exposed to fire on the polymerized foam, it will not melt, emit harmful substances to human health.

The process of using professional foam Tytan Professional foam includes the following steps:

• Shake the foam bottle vigorously before use, which promotes mixing of the components and an increase in the yield of the foam mass;
• the cap is removed from the cylinder, and a metering gun is screwed in its place;
• Before applying sealant to the surface, it must be prepared. The working plane is cleaned from dust and dirt. Experts also advise to moisten the surface with water using a spray gun. Such actions will speed up the polymerization process;
• when applying the foam container is recommended to keep upside down;
• Before starting work, it is necessary to adjust the optimal dosage of the composition from the tank For these purposes, it is necessary to adjust the volume and rate of release of the sealant using a valve located on the metering gun.

When using foam, you should follow these guidelines:

• it is necessary to work in special protective gloves, not allowing the mass to enter open skin areas;
• seams less than 10 mm thick should not be sealed;
• It is recommended to work at a temperature of +5 to + 30 ° C and relative air humidity of more than 60%;
• air gaps are filled only by 1/3 of their volume;
• Filling vertical openings is best done in the bottom-up direction;
• excess foam is allowed to cut only after full curing of the mass (at least 8 hours should pass).

The Tytan Professional trademark is an accessory of the American corporation Selena Co. S. A. The company produces high-quality construction products that meet the requirements of European standards. Organization engineers are engaged in constant monitoring of consumer demand, so that they offer in-demand materials with excellent operating and technical characteristics.Selena subsidiaries are located in many countries, due to which the manufacturer was able to offer the end consumer a product at affordable prices.
