Blowing agents.Blowing agents. Exxsol blowing agents are said to provide high insulating efficiency, and environmental and economic advantages, according to the company's information packet. Exxsol blowing agents are said to offer foam properties comparable to HCFC Noun 1. HCFC - a fluorocarbon that is replacing chlorofluorocarbon as a refrigerant and propellant in aerosol cans; considered to be somewhat less destructive to the atmosphere hydrochlorofluorocarbon and HFC 1. (networking) HFC - Hybrid Fiber Coax. 2. (hardware) HFC - hydrofluorocarbon. blowing agent-based formulations, outstanding foam processing and efficiencies, substantial environmental benefits and significant economic incentives, according to the literature. The Exxsol family of high-purity, cyclopentane-based blowing agents is said to be the best choice for meeting current and future environmental regulations, according to the literature. Benefits are said to include zero ozone depletion potential The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of a chemical compound is the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer it can cause, with trichlorofluoromethane (R-11) being fixed at an ODP of 1.0. Chlorodifluoromethane (R-22), for example, has an ODP of 0.05. , no global warming potential Global warming potential (GWP) is a measure of how much a given mass of greenhouse gas is estimated to contribute to global warming. It is a relative scale which compares the gas in question to that of the same mass of carbon dioxide (whose GWP is by definition 1). and relatively low emissions. Applications include rigid insulation and integral skin thickness products. (ExxonMobil Chemical) Circle 118 on card |
