expanding foam about 1 tonne!
emsfactory - 31/7/08 at 09:09 AM

Hi guys,
bit of an odd one this. I have around 1 tonne of expanding foam. Its a 2 part mixture called elastopor. The quantity I have is spread over 3 big plastic tanks and are on steel pallets.

It was used in fridge manufacture so thats the kind of foam it is. High density closed cell i believe. I was going to use it for a boat hull but that isnt going to happen now for a long time.

Folk have told me they use it for sealing items in packing cases too.

The company that made it are called elastogran and are still selling this stuff. It cost about £1500 a tonne. They sell the cells for £120 each

I am not really bothered about selling it as it hardly cost me anything.

I would just like to get the space back.

It could be good for making a big buck for moulding.

I am in Glasgow.

Anyone interested?

i was thinking we could all come round to your house with wheelie bin bags and have an expanding foam custom seat party.

Got a neighbour that would welcome it pumped through their overflow pipe? Possibly post some pics 15 minutes later?!

I reckon you would have enough to do that with. Nipple on your head and you could become and honorary teletubbie!

surely mixing that much at once would generate massive amounts of heat, it may explode! like Mr Stay Puft...

Just noticed the label on the bottom pic contains the same nasty stuff as 2 pack paints, I'd have a barrel of it and leave the lid off should get rid of the little F*****g shites by me
