Overview: Honeywell has been dedicated to supplying blowing agents to the polyurethane foam industry for over 40 years. This paper reviews results of recent industry trials in several market areas and provides environmental and economic models that demonstrate the commercial attractiveness of this important blowing agent technology. Extensive work done by the foam industry has demonstrated that HFC-245fa based blowing agent technologies are technically suitable for nearly all rigid foam applications. In many cases, HFC-245fa technology is superior to current or other candidate zero ODP technologies. This simplistic approach does not take into account the energy savings and cost take-outs possible by using HFC-245fa. If one considers the total system, it can be demonstrated that HFC-245fa technologies can be both environmentally and cost competitive to other blowing agent technologies.
