Passing of a Spray Foam Pioneer

September 21, 2023 -- SPFA News and Announcements

Captain Winfield “Scott” Wright passed away peacefully on August 7, 2023. Scott was born in Los Angeles, California, on July 14, 1932, and was one of the early spray foam industry pioneers. Since 1959, Scott consulted and sold materials and equipment for fiberglass. In the early ’60s, Scott was introduced to SPF and was involved in the early development of SPF materials. He worked closely with Fred Gusmer with the innovation of the spray gun, spray nozzles and equipment to install polyurethane foam. In 1974, Scott and two business partners started UCSC NW (Urethane Contractors Supply & Consulting) in Anchorage, Alaska. UCSC was a manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam, industrial coatings, and supplier of equipment. In the ‘80s, Scott partnered with his son Jerry Whitaker and began UCSC SW in Roswell, New Mexico, and in 1989 was joined by his daughter Lela Wright. Scott was a strong proponent of this amazing material whose applications are widespread. He would talk passionately about the endless possibilities of these materials until the end of his life. “The industry was my life, and the life of my family,” Scott often stated. SPFA sends its condolences to Lela, Jerry and the Wright family.

Prevent Heat Illness This Summer

August 9, 2023 -- Industry News and Announcements

As we know, 2023 has been an extremely hot summer throughout most of the US. With SPF installers working on hot roofs, inside attics and even inside certain buildings, heat illness should be a key concern for all SPF contractors. OSHA issued a heat hazard alert on July 27th to help address heat illness. This link provides resources to help avoid the potential deadly effects of prolonged exposure to heat. Additionally, SPFA hosted a webinar in July on this topic as part of our Tech Tuesday Webinar series, presented by Chris King of Anchor Insulation. The recorded webinar and presentation deck can be viewed and downloaded by SPFA members HERE. All contractors should be aware of the effects of heat illness and take steps to keep everyone cool and hydrated during the dog days of summer!

Most people aren’t aware that in order to secure a location for future SPFA conventions, cities look at hotel occupancy as a key component.

We also need to have a proven track record of those hotel room nights to be able to secure dates for future events in the longer term.
