One of the standout features of Soudal Cured PU Expanding Foam Remover is its odourless formulation. Unlike other cleaners, this foam remover does not emit strong or unpleasant odours, providing a more pleasant working environment. This is particularly beneficial in tight spaces or poorly ventilated areas. NOTE: It is important to conduct a patch test on the surface before using the PU Remover, especially on plastics and lacquer or paint layers. This will help determine if the product reacts adversely to the surface. Soudal Cured PU Expanding Foam Remover is suitable for use on all non-porous surfaces. It should not be used on untreated copper, brass, zinc, acrylic paint, or PMMA (Plexiglass) as it may cause staining.Polyurethane foam on skin for example can be removed with a paper towel and any residue can be taken off with baby oil or even petroleum jelly. If this type of foam has overexpanded on solid surfaces then there are solvents such as nail polish or acetone that can be used. It is worth looking at the expanding foam’s instruction manual as there may be some guidance in there. Alternatively, the latex-based foam may require soap and water for its removal.

If you suffer or a member of the house has a condition such as asthma, the foam could cause some potential issues and alternative action should be taken.
