Safety of EVO-STIK Foam Filler

July 21 2008

There are several versions of a bogus 'safety flyer' being circulated which give the very false impression that Evo-Stik Expanding Foam canisters explode whilst either being stored on shelves or in use. These flyers also imply that this has been the cause of a fatal accident and also that the information has been issued by the HSE which is incorrect.

The information being distributed is being sent out as a result of an Email issued by CECA Scotland to its members which contains many inaccuracies.

CECA Scotland have issued a full retraction and apology for the misleading statements contained in their original Email.

A fatal accident is currently being investigated by HSE. They have not released a statement. Any safety alerts that you may have seen have not been endorsed by the HSE.

We can absolutely assure you that we have no incident of any fault with any of these containers.

The canisters do not 'explode' or 'burst' of their own volition and we have no record of this phenomenon ever occurring. The product is safe to use when the user complies with the instructions on both the pack and the accompanying safety data sheets.

As a responsible and diligent supplier we understand that as a result of this false information being distributed that you may have some concerns about this product we therefore wanted to reassure you that the Evo-Stik Expanding Foam products are fit for purpose and we have no safety issues with this product.

Please contact our Technical Team on 01785 272727 who will be pleased to discuss any questions you may have on this product.
