How are latex products different from GREAT STUFF PRO?
There are three key differences between latex foam and GREAT STUFF PRO, which are polyurethane foams: • Latex foams are typically “open celled” and, as a result, can take on water. In fact, the same properties that allow you to wash latex foam off your hands with water also mean that the cured foam can absorb water. This can cause wood rot or deterioration in areas where wet latex foam is next to wood, such as a window frame. In contrast, GREAT STUFF PRO are closed-cell foams. They form a water-resistant outer coating when cured. • Latex foam does not expand. GREAT STUFF PRO expands to thoroughly fill all voids and cavities making it an ideal air-sealant. • Latex foam can be cleaned or removed with water. GREAT STUFF PRO while still in the wet, uncured state can be removed with acetone. Once cured, GREAT STUFF PRO is permanent.
