How to Use

• Shake the can well before use and read all safety instructions on the label.

• For gun cleaning, remove the foam can from the gun, then screw the cleaner can onto the gun thread securely without over-tightening.

• Pull the trigger to flush cleaner through the gun and nozzle until all traces of uncured foam are removed and the liquid runs clear.

• For surface or tool cleaning, fit the separate spray nozzle supplied, apply directly to uncured foam on non-porous surfaces and wipe away with a clean cloth.

• If a foam can has been left on the gun for more than a week, perform a thorough clean inside and out to remove any residues.

• After cleaning, remove the cleaner can, store it upright in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, flush the gun again with cleaner before longer periods of non-use.

Cromar Alpha Chem PU Expanding Foam Gun Cleaner – Key FAQs

• Can this cleaner remove cured expanding foam?
  No. This product is designed for uncured or still-soft foam only. Fully cured foam must be removed mechanically using appropriate tools and care.

  It is suitable for most professional PU expanding foam guns with standard threads, but you should always check your gun manufacturer’s guidance for compatibility.

• Can I use this on any surface?
  The cleaner is intended for non-porous surfaces and tools. Because it is a strong solvent, always test on a small inconspicuous area first, especially on sensitive finishes.

• How often should I clean my foam gun?
  For best performance, clean the gun after each use, or whenever you change cans, to prevent blockages and keep the trigger and nozzle operating smoothly.

• Does this cleaner have a strong odour?
  Yes, it is a solvent-based product and may emit a strong odour. Always use in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety and PPE recommendations on the label.

• What’s the best way to store the cleaner?
  Store upright in a cool, dry place between +5°C and +25°C, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames, and always keep the cap or nozzle fitted when not in use.
