Binks

---

Binks spray foam equipment is best known for robust plural-component proportioners and spray guns originally developed for polyurethane foams and coatings, with a long heritage in industrial finishing and fluid handling. While the Binks brand is more widely recognized in paint and coatings, its foam systems and components still appear in legacy rigs and specialty applications where durability and serviceability are priorities.​

Binks has over a century of history in spray technology, with product lines that span airless, air-assisted, and plural-component equipment for industrial coatings. Within spray foam, Binks-branded pumps and proportioners have historically been used in systems handling polyurethane insulation, protective coatings, and specialty chemical applications.​

• The brand’s engineering focus has typically been on rugged fluid sections, reliable seals, and consistent atomization or mixing under demanding production conditions.​
• Many contractors still encounter Binks foam and plural-component units in older rigs, refurbishment projects, and industrial plants where long service life has kept equipment in operation.​

In spray foam and similar markets, Binks proportioning systems are configured to meter and mix two-component materials like polyurethane foams, polyurea coatings, and other reactive chemistries. These systems were often integrated into custom rigs and OEM packages rather than sold as consumer-oriented “turnkey” foam rigs.​

• Typical Binks plural-component systems rely on proven pump technology, using piston or gear pumps sized to deliver the correct ratio and output for the selected chemistry.​
• Controls traditionally prioritize reliability and straightforward operation over advanced electronics, making them attractive in plants and facilities with in-house maintenance teams.​

Binks is widely associated with spray guns, and many of its plural-component and industrial guns have been used for foam and coatings in structural and insulation applications. These guns are often found in facilities where operators apply thick-film coatings, high-build materials, or specialty urethane systems.​

• Guns emphasize robust construction, replaceable nozzles, and serviceable internal components that can be rebuilt multiple times, lowering total lifecycle cost.​
• Existing Binks gun users commonly source parts and service through industrial distributors who also support other Binks coating equipment, keeping older foam rigs and systems viable.​

In today’s spray foam market, most new rigs and proportioners are dominated by brands focused specifically on SPF systems, while Binks equipment frequently appears in legacy systems and industrial environments. For contractors and plants still using Binks pumps or guns, the brand’s reputation for mechanical durability and serviceable designs remains a key advantage.​

• Continuing support from industrial distributors allows operators to maintain existing Binks systems rather than fully replacing them, especially in fixed plant or high-volume production settings.​
• For new spray foam insulation businesses, Binks equipment is more often encountered as used or reconditioned hardware, or as part of specialized industrial coating and polyurethane processing systems rather than mainstream residential foam rigs.​
