Does expanding foam conduct electricity before it dries? Would it be safe for it to come into contact with live electrical wires before it sets?

I will test it with a safer circuit first, but I wanted to know before I spent money on some.

It's amazing, a google search shows everyone talking about heat insulation and wires may get too hoot, or the PVC could corrode, but nobody once mentions electrical conductivity. Spray it around a socket, some gets inside, whoops!

That doesn't mention if it conducts electricity as you spray it. The solvent could be conductive.

With alcohols and isocyanates it probably is.

The only thing I've read is acetone can be used to dissolve it when you want rid of it.

How stupid is the John Doe troll?

The John Doe troll posting one of its vacuous insults at 05:39:20 UTC on
20 Mar 2022 with a grammatical error:

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=164790428800

Then, at 05:55:56 UTC, 16 minutes and 36 seconds later, the John Doe
troll responds to its own post with a correction, but stupidly forgets
that it sets a Followup-To: header to the "alt.test.group", resulting in
its correction article posting only to "alt.test.group":

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=164790440700

The John Doe troll, mister "***@message.header", is so stupid it
does not even remember it sets a Followup-To: header in its own vacuous
insults.

Special thanks to corvid <***@ckb.ird> for pointing out the stupidity of
the John Doe troll:

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=165594737000

The John Doe troll stated the following in message-id

The troll doesn't even know how to format a USENET post...

And yet, the clueless John Doe troll has continued to post incorrectly
formatted USENET articles that are devoid of content (latest example on
Mon, 27 Jun 2022 15:14:38 -0000 (UTC) in message-id
<t9chgt$iibh$***@dont-email.me>).

NOBODY likes the John Doe troll's contentless spam.

This posting is a public service announcement for any google groups
readers who happen by to point out that John Dope does not even follow
the rules it uses to troll other posters.

I am probably wrong as I read conductivity requires free ions. I was
thinking that the polar compounds might be conductive.

Wiki gives chemistry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane

A little water in the polyol will generate carbon dioxide as the foaming
agent and cured resin is polyurethane-polyurea.

The solvent and other chemicals are almost certainly covalently bonded.
Therefore almost certainly non-conductive.

I was wondering because paint seems to have gone all water based to please the treehuggers so I though there might be water in this too.

Also I've read humidity cures the foam faster, so water reacts with it in some way.

Can't speak for ALL foams but I used some to seal around outlet
boxes on external walls of an in-adequately insulated house and he
foam sparked and sparkled as it dried/set a little daster than normal.
It didn't pop the breaker and it didn't start a fire, but I as more

The stuff I used tat was conductive before setting was white, not
yellow - can't remember the brand but it came in a can with a yellow
top and it was not "great stuff". It was "low expanding gap filling"

Depends on the foam. How flammable is what you have. It certainly melts and
gives of nasty fumes. I'd not say its conductive, but of course could easily
get damp in it, Some have fungicide additives,. I think keeping a freeflow
of air wherever the electrics are is good and after all you might want to
get at it later on without digging foam out of the little nooks and
crannies. Tell you what it seems to go on expanding after you might think
its dry. We had some windows replaced and the used it and plastered over the
top, about 4 months later the foam pushed off a chunk of te plaster, with a
big bubble.
