The instructions outlined here
describe how to use ENERFOAM™
Professional Foam Sealant to fill
gaps and cracks around the home.
Designed to fill gaps up to 3" (75
mm), ENERFOAM™ Professional
Foam Sealant expands to take the
shape of cracks and voids, forming
a permanent, airtight and water-
resistant bond to vinyl, wood and
metal surfaces.* Once cured, it
remains soft and flexible, permitting
natural expansion and contraction
of surrounding surfaces.
To determine the amount of
ENERFOAM™ Professional Foam
Sealant required for an application,
see Table 1.
P R E PA R A T I O N
1. Read and follow the Safety and
Conditions of Use instructions
below. Wear gloves, safety
glasses or goggles and
long sleeves. Provide good
ventilation and eliminate all
sources of ignition.
2. Shake can vigorously for 1
minute before dispensing and
between uses.
3. Gun-applied version: Invert can
and screw foam dispensing gun
assembly firmly onto valve as

foam from the attachment area
before attaching fresh can.
