What is Akfix 600 Multi Purpose PU Foam?

Akfix 600 is a single-component, moisture-curing, self-expanding aerosol polyurethane (PU) foam supplied in a 750ml can with a straw adapter for easy, gun-free application. It is one of the most trusted expanding foams in Kenya for fixing and insulating door and window frames, filling gaps, joints and cavities, sealing penetrations in walls, and insulating electrical outlets and hot/cold water pipes.

Once dispensed, the foam expands to fill irregular spaces, then cures with air moisture into a rigid, closed-cell foam that provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. Cured foam is mould-proof, water-resistant, and can be trimmed, shaped, sanded, plastered and painted over. The formulation contains no propellant gases harmful to the ozone layer.

High Yield – Up to 30–45 LitresOne 750ml can expands into 30–45 litres of cured foam depending on temperature and humidity, making it highly economical per metre of gap filled.

Excellent AdhesionBonds strongly to concrete, brick, stone, plaster, wood, metal, glass and most building materials (not polyethylene, Teflon, silicone or oily surfaces).

Thermal & Acoustic InsulationClosed-cell structure blocks heat transfer and reduces noise – ideal around window frames, AC pipe penetrations and partition walls.

Strong Mounting CapacityHolds door and window frames firmly in position while providing a sealed, insulated joint around the frame.

Mould-Proof & Water-ResistantCured foam resists mould and water, and is over-paintable for a neat, finished look indoors and outdoors.

Easy Straw ApplicationStraw adapter included in every can – no foam gun required. Perfect for fundis, contractors and DIY users alike.

Where to Use Akfix 600 PU Foam

Door & Window InstallationFixing and insulating timber, steel and aluminium door and window frames – the number one use on Kenyan sites.

Gap & Joint FillingFilling and sealing gaps, joints and cavities in walls, around lintels, and between blockwork and frames.

Wall PenetrationsSealing openings where conduits, ducts, DSTV cables and plumbing pass through walls and slabs.

Pipe & Outlet InsulationInsulating hot and cold water pipes and electrical outlet boxes against heat loss and noise.

Roofing & Ceiling WorksSealing gaps at wall plates, under iron sheets and around ceiling penetrations to stop draughts, dust and pests.

SoundproofingFilling voids in partition walls and around noisy service penetrations for quieter rooms.

How to Use Akfix 600 PU Foam – Step by Step

Follow these 8 simple steps for a strong, neat and long-lasting result.

Prepare the SurfaceClean the gap or joint of dust, loose particles, oil and grease. Lightly dampen the surfaces with water – moisture improves adhesion and speeds up curing.

Prepare the CanEnsure the can is at room temperature (ideally around +20°C). Shake the can vigorously for at least 20–30 seconds to mix the contents.

Fit the StrawScrew the supplied straw adapter firmly onto the can valve.

Apply Upside DownHold the can upside down and press the valve to dispense. Fill gaps only about 50–60% full – the foam expands 2–3 times as it cures.

Work Bottom-Up on Vertical JointsFor door and window frames, apply in short beads from the bottom upwards, keeping the frame braced/wedged so expansion does not bow it.

Mist with WaterLightly spray the fresh foam with water to accelerate curing, especially in dry weather.

Trim After CuringOnce cuttable (30–45 minutes), trim excess foam flush with a sharp knife. Full cure takes 24 hours.

Finish and ProtectPlaster, paint or cover the cured foam – UV sunlight discolours and degrades exposed foam over time, so never leave it bare outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions – Akfix 600 PU Foam Kenya

What is the price of Akfix 600 PU foam in Kenya?

Prices vary with stock and quantity. For today's best price, call or WhatsApp Shabbiri Hardware on 0741 042484 or 0745 554008. Trade and bulk discounts are available for contractors.

How much area does one can of Akfix 600 cover?

One 750ml can yields approximately 30–45 litres of cured foam depending on temperature and humidity – typically enough for 2–3 standard door frames when applied correctly (filling gaps only 50–60%).

Do I need a foam gun to use Akfix 600?

No. Akfix 600 is a straw-type foam – the applicator straw is included in the can. For gun application, ask us about Akfix gun-grade foams and applicator guns, also in stock.

Can Akfix 600 be painted or plastered over?

Yes. Once fully cured (24 hours), the foam can be trimmed, sanded, plastered and painted. In fact, outdoor foam should always be painted or covered because UV light degrades exposed foam.

Is Akfix 600 waterproof?

Cured Akfix 600 foam is water-resistant and mould-proof, making it suitable for sealing around frames and penetrations. For joints needing a fully waterproof elastic seal (e.g. expansion joints), pair it with a PU sealant – ask our team for guidance.

Which surfaces does PU foam NOT stick to?

Akfix 600 bonds to almost all building materials except polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon, silicone, and surfaces contaminated with oil or grease.
