The new foam nozzles designed by DuPont High Performance Building Solutions (Wilmington, Germany) and spray feed expert Lindal Group (Hamburg, Germany) were awarded the Industrial and Industrial Awards in the recent Paris Spray and Feeder Forum (ADF) awards Technical champion.
“The ADF Awards attract high-level contestants, so we are very happy that DuPont ’s Performance Building Solutions and Lindal have achieved such outstanding results.

The smart dispenser is a single-action polyurethane foam sealant applicator designed for high-performance construction solutions for the DIY market and buildings, and subsequently patented. Its manufacturing and assembly are jointly developed by Lindal and high-performance construction solutions.
Before development, there were two long-term technologies on the market: simple disposable plastic straws and reusable foam guns. The foam gun is designed for professional users. Poor user control, clogged curing foam, and the expense and complexity of professional foam guns have caused problems for non-professional users and prompted the design of new feeders. With its intelligent and intuitive design, the smart dispenser bridges the gap between current technologies and provides a unique and targeted solution for the one-off market.
During the development process, Lindal's machine assembly and injection molding experts brought extensive manufacturing and assembly expertise to the project.
Amy Radka, DuPont`s head of retail marketing for high-performance building solutions, said: “In this case, the Great Stuff Smart Dispenser represents the commitment of high-performance construction solutions to continuously strive to bring innovation to market. Focusing on consumer feedback, And meet the needs of end users. Solve the problem of messy and foam sealant can not be reused. Since then, we have cooperated with a team to show the manufacturing and assembly process expertise. We value Lindal ’s knowledge and experience; Participation is the key to turning our concept into reality. "
