When spraying the dispensing unit for the rst me or when starng a new kit, it is recommended to trigger the gun only 1/2 to 3/4 open, unl the desired output is achieved. This controllable metering ability is a major advantage of this dispensing unit. It allows the user complete control of the ow rate that best
ts the applicaon.
VENTILATION GUIDELINES**
Ventilating the area where application of SPF/PIP is being applied will help control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. Read Safety Data Sheets, labels, Product Stewardship Guidelines (R005) and operating instructions before starting use.
Restrict entry for anyone not wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), or not involved in the application, all non-essential personnel should leave the spray area during application and not return to the jobsite for one hour after completion of spraying.
Estimate the amount of air flow needed, may var y based on room shape and size. Consider that duc twork and filters can reduce the rate of air flow performance.
On jobsites where HVAC equipment is running, ensure that the units are off before application. Failure to turn off the equipment could spread contaminants
throughout the home or building.
Ventilation equipment should be used during and after application to prevent the build up of vapors. Determine placement of ventilation equipment. Exhaust vapors to the outside of the building and away from all people and pets. Ensure that the exhaust fan capacity is 10% greater than your supply fan. Use a larger capacity exhaust fan and a smaller fan to bring in the make-up air.
Use a smoke pencil to confirm air movement across the work area and away from the applicator. Close open windows or doors (not used in exchanging or providing make-up air) to prevent vapors from entering other areas of the building.
In attic and crawlspace application do not block entry/exit point with fans.
Seal off the application area with caution tape. (Ensure that all open ducts and penetrations to other areas of the building are sealed.) It may be necessary to
isolate the work area. Construct temporary enclosures to seal off the work area.
Low pressure spray foam applicators and assistants are required to wear the proper personal protection equipment.
Occupants can re- enter one hour after spraying is completed and the area has been ventilated. Extend ventilation time for lingering odors or pre-existing odors
Follow up with the building occupant to determine if they are satisfied with the SPF/PIP performance.
Refer to the Product Stewardship Guidelines for more details.
** Based on the EPA’s 2011 working draft-Ventilation Guidelines for SPF (Spray Polyurethane Foam), refer to www.epa.gov/dfe for additional information please visit the following websites: www.spraypolyurethane.org or www.sprayfoam.org

1. Wear protective glasses with sideshields or goggles, nitrile gloves, and clothing that protects against derma l exposure. Use only in a wel l ventilate d area wi th cer ti fied res pi ra to ry prote ction or a powered air purifying respirator (PAPR). See MSDS (available inside packaging and at www.Rivenco.com).
2. For best results, use when material is between 75–85°F (24–29°C), see TDS for formula specific temperature recommendations. Clean grease, oil, dirt and water off surfaces to be foamed. Shake kit before use for one (1) to two (2) minutes depending on the product requirements (See TDS for more information). For large kits, thread hose to tank and tighten with supplied 9/16” wrench.
3. Open both tank (A & B) valves.
4. Attach nozzle to the dispensing unit; use of enclosed petroleum jelly on the face of the dispensing unit before attaching nozzle will help prevent contamination by cured foam or chemical and help keep the sealing ports clean. (Detailed instructions for attaching nozzle shown on separate page of this document.)
5. When spraying the dispensing unit for the first time and with each new kit, dispense foam by squeezing the trigger only 1/2 to 3/4 open until desired output is achieved. This controllable metering is a major advantage of the dispensing unit, allowing the user complete control of the flow rate that best suits the application.
6. Once the trigger is released it MUST BE REACTIVATED WITHIN 30 SECONDS or a new nozzle must be installed. Failure to do this could result in chemical leakage, spills or splashes which can ruin the dispensing unit and/or hoses.
7. IMPORTANT: After releasing trigger, activate the trigger safety to prevent acci dental discharge.
8. All dispensing unit nozzles are easily cleanable and solvent resistant. To clean nozzles, liquid chemical must be dissolved prior to its complete chemical reaction by flushing the nozzle with a suitable solvent such as Lubri- Clean Foam Cleaner. Gun face can be kept clean with the use of petroleum jelly on the face or with a soft cloth to remove residue.
9. Do not remove hoses from tanks. Do not flush/clean hoses with air, water or solvent. Removing and/ or cleaning hoses may compromise the foam.
Important Application Notes
1. Product model numbers are designed to approximate the theoretical yields obtain able from each produc t. For example, PF-200 refers to 200 board feet theoretical yield. A board foot is a square foot with 1” thickness (12” x 12” x 1”). Actual yields will var y depending on factors such as ambient conditions, application technique, foam density, etc. See Technical Data Sheet for additional theoretical yield information in ft3 and m3.
2. The dispensing system is covered by various U.S. and foreign patents.
3. Suitability of this product for any particular purpose, such as achieving desired structural properties, performance specifications or application requirements must be determined by the end user, prior to use. Verification that product is properly applied and installed is also the responsibilit y of the end user.
4. It is strongly recommended that in all applications the foam be protected by approved facings or coatings.
5. Take care when applying excessive layers at one time because of exothermic heat generation. For thickness greater than 10-12” (25-30 cm) apply foam in multiple layers, allowing heat to dissipate between applications.
Storage and Reuse
1. Close tank valves.
2. Do not store full tanks at temperatures above 100°F (38°C) (par tial or used tanks above 90°F [32°C]) (or below 50°F (10°C). Kits stored below 70°F must be given sufficient time (1-2 days) for the chemical to warm up to 75–85°F (24–29°C), see TDS for formula specific temperature recommendations.
3. The used nozzle should be lef t on the dispensing unit during storage in order to help keep the outlet ports of the dispensing unit clean and free from any dust, dirt or chemical that can affec t the proper sealing of the nozzle. SAFET Y: Always engage the trigger safety and close all supply valves during storage.
4. All dispensing unit nozzles are easily cleanable and solvent resistant. To clean nozzles, liquid chemical must be dissolved prior to it’s complete chemical reaction by flushing the nozzle with a suitable solvent such as Lubri-Clean®. Gun face can be kept clean with the use of petroleum jelly on the face or with a soft cloth to remove residue.
5. Do not remove hoses from tanks. Do not flush/clean hoses with air, water or solvent. Removing and/or cleaning hoses may compromise the foam. To reuse dispensing unit after storage:
1. Remove the used nozzle.
2. Check the face of the dispensing unit to make sure the outlet ports are clear and the face of the unit is free from dirt, chemical or other debris. If necessary, use a soft cloth or rag to remove any cured foam or chemical from the face of the dispensing unit. Use of en closed petroleum jelly is recommended to cover the face of the unit in order to prevent further contamination or if chemical is ac ci dentally leaked into this area.
3. Check to see that both chemicals are being dispensed in approximately equal streams.
The dispensing unit is a disposable unit not designed for prolonged storage or continuous re-use. To help extend the storage life, it is recommended to dispense a minimal amount of foam from unit at least once every three (3) days to ensure optimum flow of chemical through hoses. Use of contents within 30 days of initial use is recommended.
Disposal Procedures
1. DO NOT INCINERATE TANKS.
2. Dispense the foam into a waste container like a cardboard box or plastic bag. Depressurize the cylinders using the dispensing unit with a new nozzle attached. Spray the foam until one of the components/cylinders no longer sprays chemical.
3. Remove the nozzle and continue to depressurize by dispensing the chemicals into a waste container.
4. After tanks are empty, the hose must be removed and the tanks must be vented. CAUTION: Tanks will still be under pressure. Close the cylinder valves completely, and operate the dispensing unit again to empty and depressurize the hoses. Use a 9/16” wrench and remove the hoses from the cylinders. Safety glasses with sideshields or goggles, nitrile gloves, clothing that protects against dermal exposure, and a certified respirator must be worn during this procedure.
5. With tank inverted, and pointed away from the face, slowly open tank valve and allow pressure to completely vent. CAUTION: Empty tank could contain potential vapor toxicity hazard.
6. Return the cylinder to an upright position. Shake the container; there should not be any sloshing of liquid. Make sure to leave valves OPEN - do not close.
7. DISPOSE OF EMPTY CYLINDERS ACCORDING TO APPLICABLE FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL AND MUNICIPAL REGULATIONS. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL WASTE DISPOSAL
SERVICE FOR GUIDANCE.
8. NOTE: After dispensing, if one cylinder has chemical left in it; treat as hazardous material.
Troubleshooting Guide
Equivalent flow of both A-component and B-component is required with all two-component polyurethane systems in order to obtain proper per formance, curing and optimum yields. If a problem occurs, the cause is typically due to uneven chemical flow that is caused by a blockage of one of the chemicals.*
