Health and Safety Information
I understand that all Handi-Foam and related products are intended for PROFESSIONAL USE
ONLY.
When applying foam always consult the product MSDS, wear proper personal protective
equipment as recommended by the manufacturer, ensure good ventilation during application,
and make sure the building being sprayed is vacated during application and for a period of time
following installation. For additional information on health and safety issues related to spray
foam, visit www.spraypolyurethane.org.
Handi-Foam products contain diisocyanate. This chemical may cause sensitization by inhalation and/or direct skin contact and can be an irritant to the eyes, nose and throat. Sensitization may become apparent through coughing, pulmonary secretions, chest pain, breathing difficulty and/or asthma. For these reasons, when using two component polyurethane spray foams we recommend following or participating in a respiratory program.
All Handi-Foam two-component polyurethane spray foams should always be used in
conjunction with a certified respirator program in addition to safety glasses or goggles, nitrile
gloves, and clothing that protects from skin exposure. Required respirators must be NIOSHapproved and medical evaluation and training must be attained before use. I have read the Handi-brand Product Stewardship guidelines and understand the hazards and proper safety, handling, and personal protective equipment requirements associated with the use of the product.
Sealants & Adhesives (one component moisture cure)
For use in enclosed spaces without mechanical ventilation, Fomo recommends following all of our spray foam PPE requirements including the use of a powered air purifying respirator (PAPR). A half mask air purifying respirator may be appropriate if mechanical ventilation is added.
Use only in a well ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors. Wear protective glasses or
goggles, nitrile gloves and clothing that protects against dermal exposure.
For more information please visit Fomo’s MSDS and Operating Instruction page.
Spray Foams (two component chemical cure)

Options of air purifying respirators include:
|
- NIOSH approved negative pressure half mask respirator
with organic
vapor cartridges and particulate prefilters (F65251
Contractor Safety Kit
includes 3M® 6000-Series NIOSH/MSHA respirator)
- NIOSH approved PAPR (powered air purifying respirator)
with an organic
vapor cartridge (ex. 3M® GVP-Series)

Both respirator options (half mask and PAPR) require a medical evaluation prior to use. Click medical evaluation link to see 3M Medical Evaluation data sheet. The half mask respirator requires a fit test prior to use. Refer to OSHA’s Respiratory Protection standard (www.osha.gov, search 1910.134) for more information about creating the required respiratory program.
