Spray foam insulation effectively lowers energy bills by defending a structure against external temperature changes and keeping stopping cooling or heating from leaking outside.
It also reduces noise, prevents the growth of mold and mildew, and prevents insects and allergens from entering rooms.
Such insulation typically demands professional installation. The insulation contractor relies on a powered machine to spray the foam over a large area like an attic or wall stud.
The foam then expands to fill every nook and cranny of the space. But what if only a small area requires insulation, such as a crack in the wall. What if you wanted to apply insulation around windows? Using a machine would be overkill.

Spray foam insulation guns, also known as foam applicator guns, address this concern. They are lightweight, portable, and relatively compact to store. Because they only use pressurized cans of polyurethane insulation, they do not need a power source.
They’re effective enough for professionals and easy enough to use that a do-it-yourselfer can handle them. In addition, such tools can also apply caulking.

Teflon™ (PTFE) coats the gun body, gun barrel, canister adapter basket and the internal needle rod, which is forged from stainless steel. The coating increases durability and reduces friction, encouraging the foam to flow more freely.
The stainless-steel canister adapter fits any single-component polyurethane foam can that use a universal screw-on threaded top. Examples include Great Stuff Pro™, Touch ‘n Foam™, Touch ‘n Seal™, DAP Draftstop™, IPF, Hilti™, Fomo Handi-Foam™, Owens Corning ProPink™, Tytan™, Todol Pur™, and Versi-Tite™.
