or visible dampness present on the surface to be coated. Apply protective coatings
in accordance with the coatings manufacturer's application instructions.
1.07 SEQUENCE AND SCHEDULING
In new construction projects the SPF is installed when the foundation walls have been
completed and, in the case of concrete cured to receive spray foam. For safety
purposes. there should not be any other trades working in the immediate area when
the SPF and coatings are being installed who do not have personal protection
equipment or been trained in the SPF hazards during applications..
1.08 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
A. See API Bulletin AX -119, "MDI -Based Polyurethane Foam Systems: Guidelines
for Safe Handling and Disposal." General Gudielines for SPF applications must
be followed before the installation. See www.polyurethane.org or
www. sprayfoam. org for Safety Information.
B. Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for additional safety
information.
C. Proper disposal of waste materials and containers must be done in compliance
with the manufacturer's guidelines and/or federal, state and local regulatory

GENERAL INFORMATION:
SPRAYTITE 178 is a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) system intended for installation by qualified contractors trained in the
processing and application of SPF systems, as well as the plural - component polyurethane dispensing equipment required to do
so. Contractors and applicators must comply with all applicable and appropriate storage, handling, processing and safety
guidelines. BASF Polyurethane Foam Enterprises LLC technical service personnel should be consulted in all cases where
application conditions are questionable.
CAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
SPRAYTITE 178 is designed for an application rate of inch minimum to 2 inches maximum per pass. Once installed material
has cooled it is possible to add additional applications in order to increase the overall installed thickness of SPF. This
application procedure is in compliance with the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA).
SPRAYTITE 178 is NOT designed for use as an EXTERIOR roofing system. BASF Polyurethane Foam Enterprises LLC offers
a separate line of products for exterior roofing applications. For more information please contact your sales representative.
Cold - storage structures such as coolers and freezers demand special design considerations with regard to thermal insulation
and moisture -vapor drive. SPRAYTITE 178 should NOT be installed in these types of constructions unless the structure was
designed by a design professional for specific use as cold storage.
SPRAYTITE 178 is designed for installation in most standard construction configurations using common materials such as wood
and wood products, metal and concrete. SPRAYTITE 178 has performed successfully when sprayed onto wood substrates
down to 30 °F. SPRAYTITE 178 may be used for exterior below -grade applications in conjunction with code accepted protection
by dampproof or waterproof coverings. Such installations in areas where the probability of termite infestation is "very heavy"
must be in accordance with International Building Code (IBC) Section 2603.8 or International Residential Code (IRC) Section
R320.5, as applicable. For other substrates, please consult your BASF Polyurethane Foam Enterprises LLC sales or technical
service representative for specific recommendations.
Foam plastic materials installed in walls or ceilings may present a fire hazard unless protected by an approved, fire - resistant
thermal barrier with a finish rating of not less than 15 minutes as required by building codes. Rim joists /header areas, in
accordance with the IRC and IBC may not require additional protection. Foam plastic must also be protected against ignition by
code - approved materials in attics and crawl spaces. See relevant Building Codes and www.iccsafe.orq for more information.
The SPRAYTITE 178 foam systems are NOT recommended for medical uses; such as, splints or casts for broken bones nor
other medical or pharmaceutical uses.
in addition to reading and understanding the MSDS, all contractors and applicators must use appropriate respiratory, skin and
eye Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when handling and processing polyurethane chemical systems. Personnel should
review the following document published by Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA):
AX -171 Course 101 -R Chapter 1: Health, Safety and Environmental Aspects of Spray Polyurethane Foam and Coverings
and the following document available from the Center for the Polyurethanes Industries (CPI):
Model Respiratory Protection Program for Compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's
Respiratory Protection Program Standard 29 C.F.R. §1910.134
As with all SPF systems improper application techniques should be avoided. Examples of improper application techniques
include, but are not limited to excessive thickness of SPF, off -ratio material and spraying into or under rising SPF. Potential
results of improperly installed SPF include: dangerously high reaction temperatures that may result in fire and offensive odors
that may or may not dissipate. Improperly installed SPF must be removed and replaced with properly installed materials.
LARGE MASSES of SPF should be removed to an outside safe area, cut into smaller pieces and allowed to cool before
discarding into any trash receptacle.
SPF insulation is combustible. High - intensity heat sources such as welding or cutting torches must not be used in contact with
or in dose proximity to SPRAYTITE 178 or any polyurethane foam.
SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE CONDITIONS:
SPRAYTITE 178 Series has a shelf life of approximately three months from the date of manufacture when stored in original,
unopened containers at 50 -80 °F. As with all industrial chemicals this material should be stored in a covered, secure location
and never in direct sunlight. Storage temperatures above the recommended range will shorten shelf life. Storage temperatures
above the recommended range may also result in elevated headspace pressure within packages.
