Ecomate - Environmentally Benign Foam Blowing

摘要

Insulation foams are a critical component in the effort to reduce the amount of energy expended for heating and cooling, thus reducing CO_2 emissions & dependence on foreign oil. A key component of these foams is the captured cell gas, and its insulative capability. These gases [formerly CFCs, HCFCs, and now HFCs] have been shown to contribute heavily to global warming and ozone depletion. Ecomate~R is an environmentally sound foam insulation blowing agent. It is non-Ozone Depleting [zero ODP], has little to no Global Warming Potential [GWP], and has such a minimal effect on photochemical smog production that the US-EPA has declared it to be VOC exempt. Ecomate is the only foam blowing agent on the market with these superior credentials. For every 1 MM lbs of ecomate used to replace HFC blowing agent, there is a savings of over 1 MM tons of CO_2 equivalents [GWP],
