A Low GWP Blowing Agent for Extruded Polystyrene, PU, and PIR Foam
Solstice Gas Blowing Agent (GBA) is an ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) replacement for HFC-134a, HFC-152a, HCFC-142b, HCFC-22 and other blowing agents in foam applications. Examples include extruded polystyrene plank, polyisocyanurate, pressurized polyurethane foams (one-component and two-component), and froth foams.
Based on hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) technology, Solstice GBA offers:
- Properties similar to HFC-134a and HFC-152a
- Nonflammable (ASTM E-681, EU A11)
- Ultra-low GWP < 1
- Non-ozone-depleting
- Listed under the U.S. EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to replace ozone-depleting substances
- Not listed in Annex 1 of F-Gas regulation
- VOC-exempt (U.S. EPA)
- Listed on the TSCA inventory/registered under REACH
- U.S.-based manufacturing
