Trust only Graco repair parts for Fusion guns
When choosing repair parts for your Fusion® gun, it’s important to consider the testing that is involved in the manufacturing process. Graco’s commitment to high quality products holds true at the Sioux Falls manufacturing facility where Fusion AP guns and repair parts are produced.
Comprehensive testing is conducted on parts produced in a Graco facility. As for the Fusion product line, mix chambers are 100% fluid tested prior to shipment to ensure proper pattern and sealing capability. Additionally, O-rings are chemical-tested to ensure compatibility with chemicals used in guns. Most importantly, full statistical process capability studies are completed on components to help ensure manufacturing processes are capable of consistently producing high quality parts that meet or exceed design requirements.
Eric Rennerfeldt, Graco Worldwide Product Manager said, “I was amazed at our production ability and commitment to quality at the gun plant.”

Winter blend foams
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Many regions of the country have seen a record amount of snowfall in 2010. The roof of the Metrodome collapsed and the New York Giants have been stranded not once, but twice, due to weather. So what does this have to do with spray polyurethane foam?
Now that its colder, considerations should be made when choosing spray foam. The first consideration during cold temperatures is the necessity for A and B components to be stored between certain temperatures. Included in this consideration is the need for foam to be kept warm before and during use. To understand the optimal range for the materials you are working with refer to the MSDS’s and product specifications provided by the manufacturer.
In addition to the temperature of the spray foam, consider the temperature of the substrates. A cold substrate will adversely affect the foam rising action as energy typically used to create yield is reallocated to heating the target. Jim Anderson, Manager, Applications & Training for BASF, recommends applying a light layer of foam, otherwise known as a flash coat, to help neutralize the “heat sink” effects of a target. This flash coat introduces heat to warm up the interior to help regain foaming efficiency and yields.
Manufacturers also produce a variety of foams for a wide range of applications, including specific types of foam made for colder temperatures. These special formulas modify the catalyst or B compound to increase the chemical reaction and increase the foam rising action for better performance in colder temperatures.
Ultimately, each application needs to be assessed to consider the factors in this article as well as many others. Refer to the latest published information such as manufacturers guidelines, technical specifications, industry publications and application instructions to find the best solution for you and your customers.

Spray foam safety: Are you up to date?
Sharing information regarding safety will continue to be a focus of many organizations interested in spray polyurethane foam (SPF). As we enter the new year, it is important to get up-to-date on the most recent regulations and safety updates related to SPF.
The American Chemistry Council’s Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) is the industry association representing U.S. producers or distributors of chemicals and equipment used to make polyurethane and manufacturers of polyurethane products1. CPI has created a comprehensive website for the SPF professional. It contains important information about SPF and also serves as a resource for recent SPF developments. Refer colleagues and customers to this site for information on SPF safety.
