Expanding foam isocyantes

[Kram]

Got a can of expanding foam, I want to fill the gaps around new shelves, stop anything falling down the back.
It lists diphenylmethandiisocyante on the side, includes gloves but no mention of respitory protection. I assume it wont produce an airborne aerosol? Is it relatively safe with/without my half mask?

Thanks

Its pretty safe yes, but be aware.

The most severe danger from expanding foam is getting it In your hair.

as it isn't atomised and you should wear gloves it's not an issue, unles in severely confined spaces I guess

It is a severly confined space. I will hold my breath.

My hair has moved down to my nose, ears and ****. If it gets in those places I will be in real trouble

Definitely agree the stuff is a nightmare!

Goes everywhere!

It'll fill the gap and then then everywhere else, it's awful stuff for little jobs. Can't you just trap some polystyrene or foam behind

Yes, I once went into a high street laser hair removal place in my lunch break and got them to blast my nose as it iritates me so much. Sadly it was not permanent, grew back in about 2 weeks

Oh you meant the foam
