The best collapsible foam guns

Polyurethane foam or building sealant, as it is also called, begins to expand actively when interacting with oxygen. It is sold in sealed tubes. After opening, the substance must be used up, otherwise the residue will dry out. To prevent this in the design of the gun for polyurethane foam, a trigger stroke with a ball valve is provided, which provides a tight shutoff of the channel. Thanks to this, the substance can be used not at a time, but all week or month, dosing the necessary part.

Professional pistols are distinguished by a collapsible case, in which the stem is unscrewed, a valve mechanism with a cylinder mount and a nozzle that stands out with a thin diameter. Thanks to this, the pusher needle is removed. Disassembled parts can be washed in a solvent and restore the performance of the gun, which was accidentally left or forgotten for a long time with a sealant inside.

If any part breaks, then it is not necessary to buy a new gun - the tool can be repaired by replacing the spare part. Such models last much longer and are suitable for regular use of polyurethane foam during construction processes and repairs.

What folding foam gun do you plan to buy?

The best not folding pistols for polyurethane foam

Non-collapsible pistols have a similar operating principle, like professional models, but their service life is much shorter. If the sealant dries inside, then the tool will have to be thrown out, so it’s better not to risk it and use the mounting foam completely, and then clean it with a special bottle of cleaning fluid. But some manufacturers allow you to leave the attached cylinder for one to two weeks, which is prescribed in the instructions.

In view of this, such guns are not suitable for professional use, but are optimal for one-time volumetric work during home repairs. Their cost is much less than collapsible analogues, and it is more convenient to apply foam than simply through the tube from the cylinder.
