Gaco Western Introduces GacoFireStop2 Open-Cell SPF

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – January 15, 2014 – Gaco Western, a leader in innovative spray foam insulation products, has introduced a new generation GacoFireStop2 open-cell foam. New GacoFireStop2 offers higher yields, up to 15,000 board feet, and better performance, including improved sprayability and rise, excellent adhesion, and easy trimming. It contains high bio-renewable content for sustainability, plus GacoFireStop2 uses standard ISO, which helps reduce product handling costs.

Just like the original GacoFireStop, new GacoFireStop2 exceeds requirements for a Class 1 Foam and meets AC377 Appendix X requirements for installation in attics and crawl spaces, with no additional ignition barrier needed. Unlike other open-cell foams, with GacoFireStop2 has the ignition barrier built into the product itself, so it can be left exposed in an attic or crawl space - and meet code requirements.

"Contractors and builders will appreciate everything GacoFireStop2 offers," stated Tom Sojak, Vice President of GacoWallFoam. "Higher yields, better product performance, and the use of standard ISO all contribute to reduced cost. The product continues to offer single-step installation with no additional ignition barrier needed. Combine this with quick, easy code approval, and new GacoFireStop2 is a win-win for our customers."
