Polyurethane foam is widely used in the modern construction industry. It is used for sealing joints, fixing window and door frames, when insulating old wooden houses, etc. There are cylinders on sale that can only be used with a pistol. It makes sense to buy them with large volumes of foaming or in the case of professional activities. There is an abundance of pistols from different manufacturers on the Russian market. The recommendations of our experts will help you find the optimal combination of price and useful properties.

Criteria for choosing a gun for polyurethane foam

1. Polyurethane foam has excellent adhesion, which becomes a negative factor when cleaning the gun. It is easier to disassemble the tool to gently remove the dried insulator from the tubing and isolation valves. When buying a non-separable model, you must stock up on a special bottle of solvent and after each use of the gun, immediately rinse it from the inside with a cleaner.
2. When choosing a gun, you should pay attention to what material such critical parts as a tube, valves, threaded fastener and body are made of. The most reliable products will be made of stainless steel or copper alloys (brass, bronze). Parts coated with nickel or Teflon have the greatest durability.
3. Since the foam is under pressure in the cylinder, the threaded holder becomes an important connecting element of the gun. The maximum reliability is provided by a metal alloy; with careful operation, shock-resistant plastic can also serve for a long time.
4. Users have a variety of requirements for a pistol. A high-quality regulator of the mixture supply allows to satisfy the needs of buyers. With its help, it is possible to economically consume polyurethane foam.
5. Professionals, who often hold a pistol in their hand, have to pay attention to the ergonomics of the handle and the lightness of the tool. These parameters have a direct impact on the degree of employee fatigue.

Only the best pistols have been selected for our review. When selecting applicants, the following criteria were taken into account:

1. the purpose of the tool;
2. technical specifications;
3. price;
4. expert opinion;
5. consumer reviews.

The budget foam gun looks balanced overall considering its price. You can find fault with the plastic cylinder mount.

The shut-off valve is completely in the tube, therefore, to extract the dried foam, it is necessary to completely disassemble the mechanism. The model received a high place in the rating for its simple design, which simplifies maintenance and helps to maintain the pistol in excellent condition.

Users praise the affordable price and the reliable case. There are a number of minor drawbacks. The plastic handle often breaks when dropped. Some consumers would like to see the trigger closer to the handle.

Considering all the features of the foam gun, the experts gave it the third place in the rating.

The inlet check valve has a ball structure, and the outlet mechanism is equipped with a needle valve.

The durable coating not only prevents corrosion, but also makes the surface smoother. Therefore, cured foam can be easily removed even from hard-to-reach places. The only limitation will be the use of sharp objects to clean your inventory. So that the master does not accidentally pinch his fingers in a creative heat, 2 handle stops are provided.

For a rich set of useful functions and characteristics, the model was awarded the second place in the rating. A slippery metal trigger prevented her from becoming a winner.

Advantages

Hilti cf-ds1

Rating: 4.8

Experts consider the Hilti cf-ds1 model one of the best professional pistols. A product with a solid body evokes an association with a real weapon pistol. The plastic trigger is equipped with an additional slider, which prevents the spontaneous flow of foam. This option is useful when the pistol is hung on a belt or transported in the trunk of a car. The pointed tip of the tube allows foam to be delivered to the most difficult to reach places.

Professional builders note the thoughtfulness of the design, even in the lateral position of the pistol, the foam evenly enters the tube without air suction. The model ranks third in the rating due to the high price and the need to use a special nozzle for cleaning.

Advantages

• a light weight;

• blocking from accidental pressing;

• thin tip;

• works in lateral position.

disadvantages

• high price.

FIT 14270

Rating: 4.7

The Canadian gun for polyurethane foam FIT 14270 can boast of high quality. The strength of the body is provided by an aluminum alloy, the tube is made of brass, and a plastic handle is installed for comfortable work. The nickel plating ensures durability of the shutoff valves and makes it easier to remove foam from these elements. Thanks to the competent selection of materials, it turned out not only a durable tool, but also lightweight. Since the price of the pistol is quite democratic, you can see the inventory both in the hands of professionals and at home craftsmen. The pressure of the jet is infinitely adjustable, which allows economical use of foam.

The model looks worthy against the background of the leaders of the rating. Consumers note several drawbacks, these are the unreliable thread on the tube nut and the difficulty in removing the tip.

Advantages

• high-quality assembly;

• light weight;

• acceptable price.

disadvantages

• unreliable fastening of the tube;

• the nozzle is difficult to dismantle.

Matequs Super Teflon

Rating: 4.7

The pistol from Italy Matequs Super Teflon appears as an elite tool. This is evidenced not only by the highest price, but also by the special design. Passing through the tube with a thinning section, the foam at the outlet becomes more plastic. This has a beneficial effect on filling in hard-to-reach niches and voids. But the flow of the mixture can be adjusted so that wide gaps are filled in one pass. The economical handle is designed for the user with average anthropometric data of the hand. But in a big hand, the tool is not very comfortable to hold. Professionals note the lightness of the pistol (600 g), the collapsible design of the model. However, the high price did not allow the inventory to take a higher position in the ranking.

Advantages

• unique collapsible design;

• increased needle diameter;

• quality materials.

disadvantages

• high price;

• inconvenient handle for a large hand.

ZUBR Professional Buran

In addition, once the valve is closed, the foam remains liquid throughout the week. Parts are reliably protected from corrosion with a Teflon coating. Both the body and the stem are made of metal.

Professionals praise the gun for its availability and excellent tightness. But not everyone likes the difficulty of cleaning up dried foam. The shape of the handle also causes some criticism.

Advantages

• low price;

• tightness of connections;

• quality workmanship.

disadvantages

• complex cleaning from dried foam;

• uncomfortable handle.
