Storage Tips
How to Store Spray Foam Drums
Stored right, your chemicals spray right. Keep these in mind from the moment the drums come off the truck.
Keep It 65°F to 75°F
Our resin drums are labeled for storage between 65°F and 75°F. Heat builds pressure in B-side drums, and cold chemicals get thick and hard to process.
Keep Drums Sealed
Polymeric MDI reacts with moisture in the air. Keep bungs tight when a drum is not in use, and use a desiccant dryer on open A-side drums.
Stay Out of the Sun
Store drums indoors or in the shade, not on a hot roof or truck bed. Direct sun can push drum temperatures well past the label range.
Open B-Side Slowly
B-side resin can build pressure inside the drum. Crack the bung slowly and wear eye and hand protection.
Mix the B-Side
Resin components can separate as a drum sits. Mix the B-side drum before and during spraying per the manufacturer’s directions.
First In, First Out
Every drum is labeled with a manufacture date and lot number. Use older drums first and ask us about shelf life before you stock up.
These are general tips. Always follow the product label, SDS and technical data sheet for each product. Need an SDS? Call (951) 545-7959.
