Ecomate is a patented physical Blowing Agent useful for rigid and semi-rigid urethane foams. It will allow the formulator to produce foams which are very nearly like those obtained with HCFC-141 b. A true liquid blowing agent designed to replace HCFCs, HFCs, and HCs, ecomate is quite similar to HCFC-141 b in many critical physical properties, such as boiling point, solubility and gas lambda value. This means that it will have similar foaming characteristics [initiation speed or CT [creme time], solubility, density potential, and thermal resistance. Ecomate is the only physical blowing agent on the market today which is zero ODP, zero GWP and a VOC exempt compound. Equally important, ecomate is very cost efficient in blowing foam. Ecomate is useful in many different types of foam: It has been successfully used commercially for the past 4 years as a blowing agent in many pour-in-place systems. It has shown success in spray and isocyanurate foams as well as in integral skinned elastomers and flexible foams.
