Polymeric foam caulking compositions

A composition suitable for preparing a stable, cellular foam adapted to be dispensed from an aerosol container and maintained under pressure in a container having a value member associated with the container adaptable for continuous dispensing of the contents of the container, the composition comprising an aqueous emulsion of one or more foamable polymers, filler, a propellent amount of dimethyl ether and a volatile organic liquid compound selected from the group consisting of a volatile hydrocarbon, a volatile halogenated hydrocarbon, and mixtures thereof, wherein the foamable polymers have glass transition temperatures of less than about 15.degree. C. and wherein the foamable polymers are emulsified by a nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of greater than about 15;

• wherein the ratio of the weight percent of the dimethyl ether to the organic liquid compound is about 9-90:1, and wherein the foam is self-leveling, water resistant, and the volume of the foam is not greater than about six times the volume of said composition.
