Seamless, Spray applied Polyurethane Foam (SPF) for High-Performance Thermal Insulation
Description MASTERSEAL 755 SPF is two component polyurethane resin (PUR) based foam that is applied with a specially designed spraying machine. It provides high-performance thermal insulation in Building Envelope.
The product is available in two grades: Masterseal 755 SPF-40 Nominal density 40 Kg/m 3 Masterseal 755 SPF-55 Nominal density 55 Kg/m 3
Uses MASTERSEAL 755SPF is designed for use as an effective thermal insulation layer in Building Envelope; Mainly on roofs, walls or cold stores where a seamless thermal insulation is required.
Advantages Maximum thermal insulation Maximum energy- saving due to optimal insulation with no joints or thermal bridges Fast reacting Rapid installation. Does not run when applied on vertical surfaces. Seamless No risk of leaky seams and laps. Spray applied - Fast installation on large surfaces, easy application on complex details. Fully bonded Eliminates water collection behind the foam and offers high wind uplift resistance. High compressive strength - withstand necessary load Good Chemical resistance - Against weak acids and bases, sea water, industrial waste gases, also aliphatic hydrocarbons (mineral oil, petrol, diesel) Quick Refurbishment - Usually no break-up of the old roof surface Root Resistant Solvent free Improved safety.

Prior to testing Part B must be thoroughly homogenized. Part A and Part B are stirred together thoroughly at a mixing ratio of 100:109 (parts by weight, pbw) for 4 seconds. Mixing is performed by means of a disc type laboratory stirrer with a diameter of approx. 60mm at a speed of approx. 1300 rpm.

Directions for use
Substrate Preparation Any materials having a damaging effect on the covering with PUR Spray foam or impairing a good adhesion to the substrate are to be removed with suitable tools. Repair voids, cracks and unevenness in substrates before application. Very porous substrate must be pre-treated and sealed with suitable primer. The substrate to be treated must be clean, dry fat-free and free from sticking components. The substrate temperature must be minimum +10 o C, preferably +15
o C. If the temperature is lower or substrate is damp the adhesion of foam will be insufficient. High humidity leads to the formation of bubbles, detachments, open cells and deterioration in the mechanical strength of the foam. In case of doubt please consult local BASF
representative or conduct a trial in respect of a good adhesion should be carried out on site or on equivalent substrate.
SPF Application MASTERSEAL 755 SPF has extremely short reaction times and can be processed only using special PUR Spray equipment. The high reactivity of the system allows a processing on vertical and ceilings without problems.
In-situ foaming is carried out by means of mobile two- component high-pressure machines equipped with a constantly operating pre-heating and with heated hoses. The heating have to be designed such that permanent temperatures of 35 o C to 50 o C can be obtained. In order to obtain good mixture, mixing pressure of 80 100 bars is necessary.
MASTERSEAL 755 SPF can be applied in layers, each of 10 to 50mm thickness. Larger form thicknesses are achieved by applying SPF in several layers. Higher densities are obtained by lower temperatures and/or thinner foam layers. Lower densities are obtained by higher substrate temperatures and thicker layer application. Avoid application when inclement weather is present or imminent.
Protection If the area insulated with MASTERSEAL 755 SPF is exposed to atmospheric conditions it is necessary to provide them with UV Protective coatings as supplied by BASF. If the application area is subjected to traffic provide protection with screed, tiles or soil (garden).
Periodic Maintenance It is recommended to annually inspect the insulated areas, preferably before the beginning of summer period, particularly in respect of mechanical damage and weathering of the system. Please consult BASF representative for site visit and joint inspection.
Coverage To achieve average 50mm thickness on 1 m 2 area, 3 Kg of mixed SPF-40 OR 4 Kg of mixed SPF-55 would be required. Packaging MASTERSEAL 755SPF Part A (Polyol) is packaged in 200 Kg blue-coloured drum and Part B (ISO) is packaged in 250 Kg red-coloured drum.
Storage and Shelf life Shelf life is 3 months for Part A and 9 months for Part B when stored clear off the ground in unopened original packing, in a room well protected from moisture and humidity. Keep MASTERSEAL 755SPF cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather. The components are hygroscopic hence reseal containers after use.
Failure to comply with the recommended storage conditions may result in premature deterioration of the product or packaging. For specific storage advices consult BASF's Technical Services Department.
Safety precautions As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which can also be tainted with vapour until product fully cured or dried). Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately. If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Keep away from children and animals. Do not reuse containers for storage of consumable item. For further information refer to the material safety data sheet. MSDS available on demand or on BASF construction chemicals web site.
