You could get accurate advice from the manufacturers

It is probably unlikely to seriously affect PVC cable but then not all PVC cable is true PVC and these cables may be affected by the materials produced when the foam cures.

Quite so. As I implied in my recent post, when I am to be cross-examined in Court as an expert witness, I am paid for, amongst other things, that 'hassle' and stress. I don't expect to suffer the same when voluntarily pursuing a 'leisure activity'!

Kind Regards, John

You might get better results from the Building Research Establishment, but I believe they're rather busy with fire testing at the moment.

On the topic of expanding foam, what a blessing, what a curse.

All you had to do was to say at the outset why you assumed he meant expanding foam. Instead you chose to try and dismiss the question on the grounds of what time of day it was.

It's that same time of day (of a Friday/Saturday night) again.

Jolly good.

Is there some rule of which I am unaware which states that at certain times of day it is OK for you to answer all questions by telling us what the time is?

Seems odd.

Do you have a reason for presuming that when someone mentions polyurethane foam they mean the expanding stuff from a can and not Celotex/Kingspan/Knauf etc insulation materials?

It could be that john presumed that because the majority of the products made by the companies you list are not actually made of polyurethane but polyisocyanurate.

But then that's just an assumption....

Your assumption is not far off the mark. In fact, although I may be wrong, I don't think that any of the commonly-used products produced by the companies mentioned by BAS actually use polyurethane foam.

As you may understand, that doesn't make me any more inclined to respond to inquisitorial cross-examination
