Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) are the fourth-generation of fluorine-based gases.

HFOs are mainly used as refrigerants, blowing agents, propellants and solvents. As a refrigerant, you can find HFOs in heat pumps, air conditioning system and commercial cooling installations.

As the role of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) is phased-down, HFOs can help ensure systems maintain their safety and energy efficiency while still being an economical alternative. 

Additionally, HFOs have zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and a very low GWP (Global Warming Potential)-These liquid and gaseous blowing agents to increase energy efficiency with ultra-low Global Warming Potential. HFC 245fa blowing agent is non-ozone-depleting and provides outstanding insulating characteristics with long-term performance.  

LBA (Liquid Blowing Agent) is the latest advancement in foam blowing agent technology. Based on hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) technology, HFO has a global warming potential (GWP) of 1, 99.9% lower than HFC blowing agents. It is a cost-effective replacement for other liquid foam blowing agents:

• Non-ozone-depleting
• Nonflammable (ASTM E-681 and EU A11)
• Listed under the U.S. EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to replace ozone-depleting substances
• Listed on the TSCA inventory.
• VOC-exempt (per U.S. EPA).
