Description
This high-performance flexible urethane foam is designed for applications requiring toughness, durability, and controlled expansion.
FlexFoam-iT!™ 15 "Tuff Stuff" SLOW has a density of 240 kg/m³ (15 lb/ft³) and yields a white finished material that combines strength with flexibility.
This makes it suitable for props, padding, cushions, molds, and structural inserts that must withstand repeated use and impact.
Features
- Mix ratio by weight: 100A : 185B
- Working time: 2 minutes
- Handling time: 90 minutes
- Full cure time: 4 hours
- Expands to about 4 times its liquid volume
- High tear resistance and load-bearing capacity
It is ideal for building stunt props, ergonomic cushions, special effects pieces, or industrial components, offering a reliable balance of strength, flexibility, and controlled processing times.
Instructions
Preparation: Store and use at room temperature (23°C). Ensure a low humidity environment (below 50% RH).
Use mixing containers with straight sides and a flat bottom. Mixing sticks should be flat and stiff with defined edges.
Ensure good ventilation. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves, and rubber gloves.
Conduct a small test application to determine suitability. Replace lids immediately after use to prolong shelf life.
Use XTEND-IT™ Dry Gas Blanket to extend shelf life.
Applying a Release Agent
Urethane foams are adhesive and will bond to many surfaces. Use Ease Release™ 2831 for most surfaces. For difficult releases, apply Universal Mold Release™ followed by Ease Release™ 2831. Do not use Universal Mold Release alone or silicone-based agents, as they will collapse the foam.
Pre-Mixing & Mixing
- Pre-mix Parts A & B thoroughly before dispensing.
- Measure accurately by weight.
- Pre-mix Part B with a mechanical mixer for best results.
- Mix for at least 15 seconds and pour into mold.
- When hand mixing, stir quickly and scrape the sides and bottom of the container.
Pouring, Curing & Performance
- Pour in a single spot at the lowest point of the containment field.
- Allow space for foam expansion.
- Cure for at least 30 minutes before handling.
- Pouring large amounts may generate excess heat; consider step pouring in layers.
- To improve surface finish, cap the mold cavity with a board with predrilled holes.
- If foam collapses, ensure adequate mixing and warm up materials if cold.
