I remember when this Gaco story broke earlier this year. I've wondered about its performance as there is nothing in spray foam news about it.
Also, there is a spray foam magazine (sprayfoam.com) with the latest in spray foam news, where we can follow the latest innovations.
e.g.:
'The innovations as described by the 2017 finalists are:
•BASF’s Irgastab® PUR 70: A novel amine-free, aromatic solvents-free, anti-scorch system for Polyol and PUR foams, significantly reducing VOC, s-VOC and aldehyde emissions in automotive interiors.
•Chemours’ Opteon™ 1100: A unique hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blowing agent that addresses critical PU industry needs including formulation stability and flexibility with existing components, excellent materials compatibility, exceptional long-term insulation performance, and a sustainable solution to meet changing regulatory requirements for low GWP products.
•Covestro’s PUReWall™: A new, highly structural spray polyurethane foam (SPF) formulation allows for residential wall panel production, using polyisocyanurate (polyiso) rigid foam board and SPF instead of oriented strand board sheathing for structure.
Representatives from BASF, The Chemours Company, and Covestro will present their innovations during the Opening Session of the Polyurethanes Technical Conference, which will be at the New Orleans Marriott from Oct. 2-4, 2017. Each conference attendee will have the opportunity to vote in favor of one finalist. The innovation with the most votes will receive 20 points that will be added to a panel of judges’ scores. The winner will be announced at the Conference’s Closing Session.'
