SEIMEDA PU Foam is a one-component, moisture-curing polyurethane expanding foam developed for window and door installation, construction gap filling, fixing, air sealing and auxiliary thermal and acoustic insulation.
After dispensing, the foam expands to fill irregular cavities and cures into a lightweight cellular structure. It adheres to many common construction materials, including concrete, brick, masonry, wood, PVC and clean metal surfaces.
This product is intended for filling and insulating non-structural installation gaps. It does not replace mechanical fixing, exterior weatherproof sealant, certified fire-stopping materials or large-area spray foam insulation systems.

Key Features & Basic Parameters
Key Features & Basic Parameters
SEIMEDA Polyurethane Expanding Foam is supplied in a pressurized aerosol can and is applied with a professional foam gun or another approved dispensing system, depending on the available product format.
The foam reacts with moisture in the air and on the substrate. During application, it expands into the surrounding cavity and then cures to form a rigid-to-semi-rigid cellular filling material.
Its main functions include:
PU foam is different from polyurethane sealant and neutral silicone sealant. PU foam fills larger cavities, while PU or silicone sealants form controlled surface joints for weather, water and movement resistance.
The product is ready to use without mixing separate components. Moisture in the air and on the substrate supports expansion and curing.
The expanding foam fills irregular gaps that are difficult to seal with conventional cartridge sealants. The current standard product information indicates a free-foaming yield of approximately 35–45 liters per can under specified test conditions.
Gun-grade application allows installers to regulate foam output and apply the material more accurately around window frames, door frames, pipes and construction cavities.
The current product information indicates shrinkage below 5% under the stated test conditions, helping the cured foam maintain more stable contact with surrounding materials.
The cured cellular structure helps reduce air movement, thermal transfer and sound transmission through gaps. The current reference thermal conductivity is approximately 40 mW/(m·K), subject to confirmation in the latest Technical Data Sheet.
The product can adhere to many clean construction substrates, including concrete, brick, wood, PVC and metal. Adhesion should be tested on coated, treated or unusual surfaces before use.
After complete curing, the current standard product information indicates a service temperature range of approximately -40°C to +90°C. This is different from the permitted temperature during application.
PU foam can fill the irregular cavity between a mechanically fixed frame and the surrounding wall, helping reduce drafts, improve insulation and support a more complete installation system.
The expanding material can fill cavities more quickly than manually placing multiple layers of traditional filling materials.
When applied continuously and protected correctly, the cured foam helps close air paths around frames, penetrations and construction openings.
Excess foam can be cut after sufficient curing, allowing the installer to prepare the joint for plastering, cladding or application of a protective surface sealant.
The product is suitable for window and door installers, construction contractors, hardware wholesalers, building material distributors and project buyers requiring regular bulk supply.
Different installation conditions may require different PU foam formulations. Buyers should confirm which grades are currently available before ordering.

FAQ
What is the normal temperature range for PU foam application?
Normal application temperature is generally 5–35°C, with 15–25°C being the optimal range.
What are the benefits of applying PU foam at normal temperature?
Foam expansion is more complete, cell structure is more uniform, and adhesion performance is more stable.
How fast does PU foam cure at normal temperature?
Tack-free time is typically 8–12 minutes, and full curing takes around 24 hours, depending on humidity and joint depth.
Is pre-conditioning of the can required at normal temperature?
If the product is stored at 15–25°C, it can be used directly. If stored colder, pre-warming is recommended.
Is foam yield more stable at normal temperature?
Yes. Chemical reactions proceed more efficiently, resulting in foam yield closer to the rated value.
How does normal temperature affect shrinkage?
Proper curing temperature helps maintain stable cell structure and reduces shrinkage risk.
Is additional water spraying needed at normal temperature?
Light misting is helpful in low-humidity environments; it may not be necessary when humidity is sufficient.
What should be considered regarding substrates at normal temperature?
Substrates should be clean, free of oil and dust, and not excessively cold or covered with condensation.
How stable is PU foam after curing at normal temperature?
Dimensional stability is good, with lower risk of powdering or brittleness over time.
Why is normal temperature recommended for critical applications?
Normal temperature ensures the most predictable performance and minimizes application risks.
PU foam adhesion depends on surface strength, cleanliness, moisture, coating and material formulation. Test representative substrates before project use.

PU foam and silicone sealant perform different but complementary functions in a window or door installation system.
PU foam should not replace mechanical anchors or the final exterior weather seal.
Install, align and secure the window or door frame with the specified mechanical fasteners before applying PU foam.
Remove dust, loose particles, oil and debris. Lightly moisten compatible mineral surfaces when recommended, but do not apply over standing water or ice.
Condition the can to the recommended temperature and shake it thoroughly according to the product instructions.
Connect the can to a compatible professional foam gun. Adjust the output before filling the installation gap.
Apply the foam from the bottom upward. A typical initial filling level may be approximately 60%–80% of the cavity, but the correct amount must be based on the actual expansion rate of the selected product.
Large or deep cavities may require multiple layers. Allow sufficient curing between layers and lightly moisten where recommended.
Wait until the foam has reached the specified cutting time before trimming. Do not assume that the center of a deep joint is fully cured at the same time as the surface.
Cut away excess cured foam without damaging the window frame, wall or surrounding waterproofing system.
Cover exposed foam with plaster, trim, coating or a compatible weather-resistant sealant. For the outer window joint, consider neutral silicone sealant selected for the substrate and climate.
Check that the foam is continuous, fully cured and protected, and that the frame remains correctly aligned without deformation.
Construction distributors and project buyers may require product, safety and transport documents before approving a PU foam order.
Available information can include:
Company management certificates, product test reports and transport documents should be presented separately. Confirm that each document applies to the exact PU foam model being purchased.
