A Proven Foam Blowing Agent Solution
Enovate 245fa (HFC-245fa) is a replacement for HCFC-141b and other fluorocarbon and non-fluorocarbon foam blowing agents. The U.S. EPA has given SNAP approval for the use of Enovate as a replacement in all foam applications.
Some other benefits:
- Non-ozone-depleting
- 8-10% better k-factor than cyclopentane formulations
- Nonflammable (ASTM E-681, EU A11)
- Excellent cold temperature insulation performance
- Outstanding long-term insulation performance
- Compatible with commonly used plastic liners
- VOC-exempt (U.S. EPA)
- Low toxicity
