    Not a big fan (excuse the pun) of blowing this stuff around the workshop, think it's best to remove @ source, it's a difficult one due to the static clingy thing, top priority is sort the extraction and wear respirator until sorted,does anyone know if the cyclones work with this stuff or does it cling to the funnel and block it ?

    cyclones tend to be used to stop large particles clogging /filling the extractor unit, fine material tends to pass through the cyclone and into the filter bay/vac unit,, with coarse material dropping out into a hopper.. as you don't have coarse material I don't think it would work, but could be totally wrong with the right cyclone design.

    Hope your extraction system has sufficient earthing to prevent static build up....if it is plastic I would be looking to run a bare metal strip in the ducting and earthing that

    If your cyclone is efficient enough it should have no problem filtering the foam dust. You can always add a filter to the exhaust to catch what the filter misses.
