The next-generation foam sealant dispenser is reusable for up to 30
days, provides greater control and eliminates mess
WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today, Performance Building Solutions, a business of DowDuPont Specialty
Products Division, announces the new, patent-pending GREAT STUFF™ SMART
DISPENSER™, an innovative solution to make air sealing easier, more
precise and with less product waste. The SMART DISPENSER™ is changing
the game, with a dispenser that is reusable for up to 30 days, provides
no drip, less mess and greater control.
The new SMART DISPENSER™ will help end-users fill gaps and cracks
efficiently and quickly, with precision application. Consumers can worry
less about wasting a nearly full can of GREAT STUFF™ after one use. This
new technology and design of the dispenser will give contractors and
DIYers alike the flexibility to move from project to project seamlessly,
with the option to come back to their air sealing job at a later time.
“We listened to our customers and went back to the drawing board to
design a new, patent-pending GREAT STUFF™ dispenser that answers the two
biggest complaints, messiness and the lack of reuse,” said Dan Schroer,
R&D Program Leader, Performance Building Solutions. “From concept
ideation, to 3D printed working prototypes, to ultimately the final
design, we worked with our customers to develop this new best-in-class
dispenser. We’re extremely proud of what has been accomplished. With
this game-changing innovation, GREAT STUFF™ just got greater!”
Each GREAT STUFF™ Insulating Foam Sealant is specially formulated to
seal gaps and cracks to help block air, moisture and pests. This new
dispenser will be applied to all GREAT STUFF™ Insulating Foam Sealants,
including: GREAT STUFF™ Big Gap Filler, GREAT STUFF™ Pestblock, GREAT
STUFF™ Gaps & Cracks, GREAT STUFF™ Multipurpose Black, GREAT STUFF™
Fireblock, GREAT STUFF™ Window & Door and GREAT STUFF™ Pond & Stone.
“The GREAT STUFF™ SMART DISPENSER™ is representative of Performance
Building Solutions’ continued commitment to bringing innovation to the
market grounded in consumer feedback and addressing end-user needs,”
said Amy Radka, Consumer Market Leader, Performance Building Solutions.
“Utilizing market listening exercises and deep market intelligence, the
team worked to develop a game-changing solution for dispensing one
component can foam sealants. GREAT STUFF™ provides a simple,
cost-effective solution to improve energy efficiency, indoor air quality
and ultimately, a more comfortable home, and now dispenses easier than
ever before.”
The average home has a half-mile of gaps and cracks where air and
moisture can enter1 and air leaks account for 25-40 percent
of the energy used for heating and cooling a typical home. According to
the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET), proper insulating and
air sealing can help lower heating and cooling costs by up to 30 percent.2
By filling gaps and cracks with GREAT STUFF™ Insulating Foam Sealants,
homeowners can see immediate savings while making the home more
comfortable and environmentally friendly for the long term.
