Product Overview
Soudal PU Foam Remover in a 100ml pack is a ready-to-use gel formulated for the safe and efficient removal of cured polyurethane foam residues. Designed for professional and maintenance use, this high-activity solvent gel targets hardened foam deposits on non-porous substrates such as metal, PVC, and plastic surfaces.
Its odourless, hydrocarbon-free formulation ensures comfortable application in indoor or ventilated environments, while maintaining strong cleaning performance. The gel texture prevents run-off, enabling controlled use on vertical and precise areas without excessive spreading.
Fully water-soluble and biodegradable, it offers an effective, eco-conscious solution for post-installation cleaning and restoration work where cured PU foam residues must be completely removed.
The product is tan in colour and supplied in a compact 100ml container for ease of handling and economical application.
Features & Benefits

Applications
- Foam residue removal: Eliminates hardened PU foam from metal, plastic, and PVC surfaces.
- Post-installation cleaning: Ideal for finishing work after foam sealing, fixing, or insulation applications.
- Equipment maintenance: Suitable for cleaning foam-affected tools and application accessories.
- Repair and refurbishment: Restores non-porous surfaces to original condition following PU foam exposure.
Installation Guidance
- Surface preparation: Mechanically remove or cut away as much cured foam as possible before applying the remover.
- Application method: Apply the gel evenly with the enclosed brush directly onto the remaining cured PU foam.
- Reaction time: Allow to act for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours depending on residue thickness.
- Removal: Use the enclosed spatula to lift softened foam and wipe the area with a dry cloth.
- Reapplication: Repeat if residues remain, following the same procedure.
- Cleaning: Finish by wiping with a damp cloth to remove any remaining product traces.
- Application temperature: Apply between +5 °C and +35 °C for optimal performance.
Compliance & Performance
