NCFI formulates and manufactures foam-in-place polyurethane foam systems. NCFI nationally sells and services foam mixing and dispensing equipment providing end-users with one source for their foam needs.
NCFI was organized in 1964 by Dr. H.W. Bradley, a research chemist, and Barnhardt Manufacturing Company, a leading manufacturer of fiber cushioning materials whose founding dates back to 1900. Soon after its organization, NCFI had earned a reputation as a quality manufacturer of flexible polyurethane foam for the bedding and furniture industry.
In 1967, NCFI began formulating foam-in-place systems for insulating cold storage buildings. NCFI expanded the product line with development of highly successful systems for roofing applications, multiple types of commercial and residential insulation, taxidermy, specialty moldings, and marine applications. NCFI provides equipment and application training, engineering expertise for specifications and designs, and a professionally trained contractor base for spray foam applications.
NCFI's R&D center, with full development and testing capabilities, is unique among spray polyurethane foam systems suppliers in the United States.
This specification includes NCFI's EnduraPlus™ Roofing System that provides a durable, weather-resistant solution lightweight roof construction. This seamless spray-in-place rigid Polyurethane Foam (SPF) plus an integrated protective layer of elastomeric coating improves your roof's overall structural integrity and strength. The Spray Polyurethane Foam and coating system weighs less than a pound per square foot, making it an excellent choice for a variety of roof substrates.
