MASTERSEAL 755 SPF


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.

C using a non-waxed paper cup of 660 cc capacity with a total weighed in
quantities of 80 g. 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.
