Gary Wolfe Executive Vice President of IFTI states, “The addition of Gaco Western GacoGreen 052 OC foam is another step forward in IFTI’s goal to prove via testing and documentation, DC315 is the best code compliant solution for alternative ignition and thermal barrier use in the industry. IFTI leads the industry with its catalog of over 30 full scale tests on SPF, on both open and closed cell SPF with 14 major SPF manufactures.
