The extreme cold makes polyurethane foam brittle and it fractures away from timber, felt and masonry, while the CO2 pellets sublimate into gas and leave no grit, water or chemical residue behind. We use it on open cell spray foam, closed cell spray foam and insulation boards that have been sprayed directly onto rafters, battens and plasterboard.
