Akfix 800C Gun Cleaner Spray Foam Gun Cleaner - Prevents Clogging

Our review of the Akfix 800C Gun Cleaner finds it best suited for contractors and DIYers who regularly use polyurethane spray foam and need a straightforward solvent to remove uncured foam and keep guns working. The single biggest reason to buy is its focused effectiveness at dissolving fresh PU foam and flushing gun adapters, which helps prevent clogs and preserves tool performance when used as instructed. This review examines daily use, cleaning technique, and practical limitations to help decide if a 12-can pack fits your workflow.

Key Features

• Removes uncured PU foam: Dissolves fresh spray foam left on surfaces so it can be wiped or flushed away before curing.
• Cleans gun adapters and valves: Flushes through the expanding foam dispensing gun adapter to prevent the foam cure inside the applicator and maintain consistent operation.
• Versatile surface cleanup: Safe for removing uncured foam from window and door frames, clothing spots, and other nonporous surfaces when used promptly.
• Easy application: The can screws onto the gun adapter and the solvent is pushed through by triggering the gun, making internal cleaning simple and direct.
• Pressurized convenience: Aerosol format with a spray nozzle option allows both targeted spray cleaning and adapter flushes without separate pumps.

Who It's For

The Akfix 800C is ideal for insulation installers, builders, and hobbyists who use aerosol PU foam regularly and need to prevent downtime from clogged guns. It shines when used immediately after foam application or as a routine between jobs to protect adapters and valves from curing foam.

It is less suitable for people seeking a multiuse heavy-duty solvent for cured foam removal or for cleaning deeply porous materials after cure; it is designed specifically to remove uncured foam and maintain foam gun performance rather than strip fully cured foam or replace mechanical maintenance of tools.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effectively dissolves and removes fresh PU foam when used promptly, reducing the risk of clogged adapters.
• Designed to flush through gun adapters and valves, which helps maintain consistent sprayability and tool function.
• Convenient aerosol format with an option to use the attached spray nozzle for surface cleanup.
• Can be used on a range of nonporous surfaces like window and door frames for quick cleanup.

Cons

• Not intended to remove fully cured foam, so it must be used quickly after application or before curing occurs.
• As an aerosol solvent, it requires well-ventilated use and careful storage below 122 F, which may limit use in some environments.
