About Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance
Founded in 1987 originally as the Polyurethane Foam Contractors
Division, the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) is the collective
voice, along with the educational and technical resource, for the spray
polyurethane foam industry. Our experienced staff and member-comprised
committees provide a wide variety of services to the industry.
SPFA develops tools designed to educate and influence the
construction industry with the positive benefits of spray polyurethane
foam roofing, insulation, coatings, and specialty installations.
Although the SPFA is a completely independent trade association, we
have a strong relationship with the American Chemistry Council's (ACC)
Center for Polyurethanes Industry (CPI), along with the Sprayfoam
Coalition. These groups have assisted the SPFA to better serve the spray
polyurethane foam industry's business needs on local, state, and
national issues.

- Certification Programs on spray polyurethane foam roofing, inspections, building envelope, health and safety, etc.

polyurethane foam roofing, freezers/coolers, tanks and vessels,
