Over the years, Graco has made many great proportioners to suit different volume application needs. Their Reactor 2 Hydraulic Proportioner has been a big hit with contractors for its outstanding performance, easy troubleshooting, and intelligent features that embody the values of 2019's contractor. To make it even better, Graco recently developed the additional Reactor 2 Ratio Assurance system.

• The Ratio Assurance System addresses a long-standing problem with spray foam: staying 'on ratio.' To create the right consistency and quality of spray foam, materials need to not only be heated, mixed, and pressurized correctly, but they must also be administered at the right ratio. If too much or too little of the materials are sent into the gun, you get incorrect R-values and other issues that decrease the insulation's quality.

If you already have a Reactor 2 proportioner,you can buy a Reactor 2 Ratio Assurancekit to update your older model. This system will make sure that you'reachieving the right material ratio every time. After its installation, you canreceive ratio reports through the Reactor app on your mobile device.

• Fluid restriction in heated hoseor spray gun

By presenting all the singular possible causesof ratio issues, the new multi-tiered ratio assurance system sets the SPFcontractor up for success.
