Xpanda 600 Expanding Joint Sealing Foam
Xpanda 600 is manufactured using an open cell polyurethane foam heavily impregnated with acrylics creating flame retardant properties. Fire rated to B1 classification.
Under high compression the product will create a weather-proof seal, under low compression, the product is suitable for draught sealing. Xpanda 600 maintains a permanent elasticity, allowing it to continuously self-adjust post-installation to effectively seal gaps. This is an excellent alternative to polyurethane aerosol foam due to easy, clean installation and value for money. It's ideal for professional and DIY use for installation of windows and door frames, as well as joining structural components in residential and commercial properties.
Xpanda 600 is recommended for use in more extreme weather applications (tested to DIN52453 Watertight Against Driving Rain) and is fully resistant to UV. The measured performance of Xpanda 600 is rated at 600 Pascals, or driving rain, at 25% decompression. It allows for sufficient ventilation, preventing mould buildup. It ages well and won't crack or split over time, making it ideal for the UK seasonal climate where joints expand and contract throughout the year.
The product is supplied in rolls of various sizes and are supplied pre-compressed to approximately 85%.

Compression values from uncompressed to 75% compressed:
- 0% compressed - Prevents the entry of dirt and insects.
- 10% compressed - Facilitates airflow, serves as an acoustic barrier, and includes all previous benefits.
- 50% compressed - Offers thermal insulation, acts as a dust seal, and encompasses all above features.
- 75% compressed - Protects against driving rain and retains all aforementioned properties.
This tape is made from open cell polyurethane foam, treated with chemically stabilised acrylics and has a high-performance acrylic adhesive. It maintains permanent elasticity, with excellent resistance to UV rays, mildew, and aging, and will not crack, split, bleed, or dry out during continuous movement cycles.
Xpanda can be painted with any water-based acrylic or latex paint and is non-migratory, making it compatible with caulk.
Upon application, this foam tape expands to fill gaps and conforms to uneven surfaces, ensuring long-lasting thermal and acoustic insulation. Xpanda 2-13 expands from 2mm when compressed expanding to a maximum of 13mm when unwound and applied. At this expanded size, Xpanda provides a watertight seal for gaps between 2-5mm, offers thermal, acoustic, and draught/dust sealing for gaps of 6-7mm, and serves primarily as a gap filler for larger openings.
