This Soudal Genius Gun Fire & Acoustic Expanding Foam is a rapid curing, one-component, expanding ...This Soudal Genius Gun Fire & Acoustic Expanding Foam is a rapid curing, one-component, expanding polyurethane foam filler. It offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties and primerless adhesion on most construction materials. Suitable for interior and exterior use, it cures rapidly and provides excellent yield and adhesion on most substrates. It is reusable for up to 6 weeks when the bung is attached after use. It meets fire class DIN 4102 B1 and offers fire resistance up to 2 hours (B2) or 4 hours (B1) depending on joint configuration. The acoustic rating is 58 dB and the insulation factor is 36mW/mK. Ideal for filling around door and window frames and pipe penetrations when DIN 4102 B2 fire class is required. It features the Genius Gun applicator for accurate trigger control and one-handed application.
This guide is for users of the Soudal Genius Gun Fire and Acoustic Expanding Foam, offering a fast and effective solution for sealing and insulating. It is ideal for both interior and exterior applications where fire resistance and acoustic dampening are crucial. However, it's important to note that performance varies depending on joint configuration and substrate. This expanding foam features a Genius Gun applicator for precise control, excellent adhesion, and can be reused for up to 6 weeks.

FAQs
How do I clean the Genius Gun applicator?
Clean the nozzle and gun immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as acetone. Avoid letting the foam dry in the applicator.
What is the fire resistance rating of the foam?
The foam has a fire class rating of B2 up to 2 hours and B1 up to 4 hours depending on joint configuration, according to DIN 4102.
Can I use this foam outdoors?
Yes, this foam is suitable for both interior and exterior use.
How long does it take for the foam to cure?
Curing time varies depending on the environment but typically takes a few hours. Check the product label for specific recommendations.
How should I store the can?
Store the can upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
How long is the product reusable?
The product is reusable for up to 6 weeks when the bung is properly attached after each use.
What substrates is the foam compatible with?
The foam is compatible with most common building materials, including concrete, brick, wood, and metal.
Is any special personal protective equipment (PPE) required?
Yes, it is recommended to wear gloves, eye protection, and consider using a respirator, particularly in poorly ventilated areas.
Troubleshooting
Foam does not expand properly.
Ensure the can has been shaken well and that the application temperature is within the recommended range. If it's too cold, the foam may not expand correctly. Check the expiry date.
The Genius Gun applicator is blocked.
Clean the nozzle immediately after use with a suitable solvent. If already blocked, remove the applicator and soak the nozzle in solvent.
Foam sticks to skin.
Immediately wipe off uncured foam with a cloth and a solvent. Cured foam needs to be mechanically removed.
Poor adhesion to the substrate.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free of dust/grease). Moisten the surface lightly before application. Use the foam within its expiry date.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and loose particles. For best results, slightly moisten the surfaces.
Application: Attach the Genius Gun applicator to the can. Shake the can well before use. Apply the foam, filling gaps approximately halfway, as the foam will expand.
Curing: Allow the foam to cure completely. This time depends on the environment's humidity and temperature (typically a few hours).
Trimming: Once cured, trim any excess foam with a sharp knife.
Compatibility: Compatible with most common building materials, including concrete, brick, wood, and metal. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially when working with sensitive materials.
Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place when not in use. After use, attach the bung to the applicator nozzle to prevent the foam from drying out. The product is reusable for up to 6 weeks. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
