Tytan polyurethane foam: distinctive features

Tytan polyurethane foam is the highest quality product for the renovation of apartments, houses, garages and other buildings. It is used by every third builder, and it is this company that is considered the most popular. The price is very reasonable, every customer can purchase this product. Let's try to understand the main advantages of Tytan foam.

In building supermarkets, a foam called Tytan can be seen quite often. There is a huge range of this product.

Tytan materials are varied, they can be:

• one-component products that are used in a cylinder, but without a pistol;
• professional who need to use a pistol;
• special-purpose foams used in areas with special conditions with a high fire hazard;

In addition, Professional O2 65 Tytan foam is subdivided into several types.

• Glue "60 seconds", which has the name "Moment" glue. This option is considered the most popular of this series.
• Winter and summer foam. Used at certain times of the year. Winter foam does not freeze, which increases its effect and is used with cement. But you cannot apply this sealant to frost, ice, snow, glass. In the winter version, the 750 ml bottle contains up to 65 liters of the final volume of the sealant, but there is also 300 ml. Sealants marked with the number 65 have a high yield of substances, they can be very hazardous to health.
• The volume of cylinders is 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 liters.

The technical characteristics of one-component polyurethane sealant are very diverse:

• the two-component foam is mixed with great care;
• cured foam can withstand quite high temperatures;
• the surface layer when solidified is formed in just 2 minutes;
• you can start the first deformation in 40 minutes;
• the foam completely hardens only after a day;
• the density of the solidified layer is 20 kg / cu. m;
• from a conventional spray can the jet comes out at 45 liters;
• polyurethane foam hardens under the influence of humidity and cold air;
• used in baths, saunas, swimming pools, as it is resistant to moisture;
• has thermal insulation and sound insulation;
• shelf life and use is 18 months;
• vaporization of the sealant does not contain harmful substances for the environment and humans;
• the ability to apply all year round - the temperature range of application is from 0 to 30 degrees Celsius;
• accuracy and efficiency of application when using a construction gun.

Since this material is used in almost all areas of activity, it is necessary to know how to properly dispose of this sealant so that there are no accidents. This material is fire resistant, does not conduct electricity, but care must be taken. The main thing is not to burn the bottle, even if it is already empty. The substance cylinders are always under pressure, which can lead to a serious explosion.

The main advantage of this material is its high efficiency. As practice shows, the use of foam lasts for a long time, even in large quantities.

Another plus is that the foam does not freeze even when exposed to high temperatures. This quality pleases many builders, especially those who are still inexperienced. The demand for Tytan foams is increasing every year due to these qualities and low prices. Average prices for goods of this type range from 500 to 700 rubles in different regions. The low price can also be attributed to the positive qualities of the product.

Experienced specialists also highlight the excellent qualities of the fact that the foam can be used as fireproof, fireproof and fire-resistant, which means that it can be used to extinguish a fire. In addition, as experts say, if you foam the whole house and all the corners, then you can not be afraid of a fire. But there is no exact statement on this yet. Apparently, no one has done this yet, but if this fact is confirmed, then in the near future people will no longer be afraid of fires, and there will be fewer accidents.

But the product, besides the pluses, like all others, has its minuses.

Let's take a closer look at them.

• Polyurethane foam does not stick in the cavity, it often flows down. The main reason for this is the weather conditions. Low or too cold weather affects the foam, due to which it no longer has the ability to adhesion - the bond between brought into contact dissimilar surfaces of objects.
• Foam crumbling is observed after a year or six months, which the owners do not like. This is due to the unprotected UV rays and sunlight that seeps through the foam.
• Wet rod. The consequence is very cold environmental weather or poorly chosen foam curing time (for example: night). The rod had to be dried with a hairdryer before use.

Scope of application of Professional O2 65 Tytan:

• when building doors, windows, frames, vents;
• attachment of building materials, including glass, bricks, bars;
• replacement of cavities of various sizes and materials;
• closing and insulating cardboard panels, skirting boards;
• finishing and insulation of pipes in the sewage system, as well as pipes that conduct water and heat housing;
• sealing and joining metal and concrete structures made of finished materials.

Experts and manufacturers recommend the following areas of likely use.

• You can use Professional O2 65 Tytan for mounting doors and windows, frames, thermal insulation, soundproofing and closing holes, various cracks along water and sewer pipes, sealing sewer and central heating pipes, joining panels, profiled sheets when cladding a house.
• They also recommend using a tube so that too much foam does not come out, it can also be used for aerated concrete (industry), roof insulation (roof), soundproofing of the motor of boats, boats, cars and motorcycles.
• In addition, you can find your own application.

Having studied this material in practice, we can conclude that it is ideal for various roofing works, for gluing and joining structures. But each material has flaws, including this one.

According to buyers, several factors are the main negative characteristics.

• This product costs a little more than consumers would like.
• It comes out in a large stream, and as a result, then you need to cut a lot of it, and this is not economical.
• Excessive pressure, which is dangerous to health, especially if small children are nearby. One young woman once got into such a case when her child accidentally drank this foam, after which he was left without a voice.

But also a third of the reviews contains information that the manufacturer is doing his job responsibly.

On the positive side, the following properties can be distinguished.

• Good frost resistance, sound insulation, low deformation of products. Such characteristics are present in the product description, therefore, it fully complies with its standards.
• Good output volume.
• It hardens quickly, does not expand, homogeneous structure, smells slightly and quickly erodes, does not flow down.
