Technical Data Sheet QS YETI
PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATES
Providing the proper substrate is the responsibility of the owner, the owner’s appointed representative, the contractor, and/or inspector. The
following are manufacturer’s recommendations. However, other preparation techniques may be required given unique/specialized application
circumstances. Contact SWD Technical Support at 888-380-2022 for additional questions.
Remove dust, dirt, oil, paint, and alternative polymers from all surfaces prior to applying SWD products.
See SWD specifications or SPFA guidelines for further details on substrate prep.
Wood • Ensure wood is relatively dry and protect surfaces from contamination. For moisture content exceeding 19%,
contact SWD Technical Support.
• Water or oil present may cause poor adhesion or excessive foaming.
• Fill large voids with appropriate backer rods or appropriate fillers.
• If additional information is required, contact SWD Technical Support.
Steel & Other Metals • It is the responsibility of the contractor/end user to determine proper adhesion and suitability through field
testing. Blasting and/or priming is not always required. If additional information is required, contact SWD
Technical Support.
Concrete • If applying foam to concrete, the concrete surface should be structurally sound, clean, and curing for 28 days.
• Fill large voids with appropriate backer rods or appropriate fillers.
• Blasting and/or priming is not always required. It is the responsibility of the contractor/end user to determine
proper adhesion and suitability. If additional information is required, contact SWD Technical Support.
Previously Applied
Foam or Other
Polymers
• As practical, remove previously applied foam and other polymer products. Application of product over existing
materials should be performed only after adhesion/compatibility is verified by the contractor and accepted by the
building owner or owner’s appointed representative.
Wiring and Plumbing • QUIK-SHIELD® YETI is fully compatible with CPVC piping systems (Paschal Engineering Study for the SPFA).
• QUIK-SHIELD® YETI is compatible with typical electrical wiring coverings. (NEMA Bulletin 95)
PROCESSING
Preconditioning 1. If the drum temperature is 80°F (26.6°C) or higher, use caution when opening the drum! The contents will be under
pressure.
2. It is recommended to precondition material to 70-80°F (21-27°C) prior to application. Material may thicken at lower
temperatures which can cavitate pumps.
Mixing 3. Mixing of B-Side (resin) is not required.
4. Mixing of A-Side (iso) is not required.
Pressure Settings 5. Product should be sprayed with a high pressure plural-component proportioner capable of a minimum of 1200 psi
dynamic pressure.
6. Static pressure is typically set between 1200-1500psi.
Temperature Settings 7. Primary heaters and hose heaters are typically set between 100-150°F (38-66°C). Higher temperatures are utilized
in winter months, lower temperatures are utilized in summer months.
Proper application temperature setting is the responsibility of the end user. Equipment temperature varies and can be dependent on
equipment, hose length, elevation, ambient temperature, substrate temperature, humidity, and other factors. If additional information is
required, refer to QS YETI Processing Packet found on swdurethane.com and the SWD mobile app, or contact
SWD Technical Support at 888-380-2022.
APPLICATION
1. Do not spray foam when substrate surface temperatures are less than 5°F above the dew point.
2. Clean surfaces according to “Preparation of Substrates” section.
3. If priming, follow manufacturer recommendations. Ensure primer is adequately cured prior to application.
4. Substrate temperatures should be between 0-130°F (-17-54°C) Flashing is recommended at lower temperatures. Higher and lower
application temperatures are possible, contact SWD Technical Support for more details.
5. Flush an adequate amount of material through the lines/gun prior to spraying desired surface when changing between systems. Flush
amount will be dependent on prior system used. If additional information is required, contact SWD Technical Support for more details.
6. Do not recirculate.
7. QUIK-SHIELD® YETI shall not exceed 4” per lift, with a minimum 20-30 minute wait time between lifts.
8. Before application, test material to ensure that material sprays, cures, and hardens properly.
9. Inspect applied material intermittently to ensure no problems exist. If problems are detected, discontinue application and inspect all
substrates, equipment, gun, and liquid material for problem source(s).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Spray equipment must be maintained in proper operating condition. Failure to adequately maintain spray equipment may result in poor
product performance. Refer to your equipment manufacturer’s maintenance procedures for more details.
2. Contact SWD for long-term equipment storage recommendations.
