Verfasser: riyasharma24mr on Thursday, 27 June 2019The blowing agent is a chemical substance that is used in generating a gas to expand rubber, plastics, and ceramics to create foam. Blowing agents are used to impart features such as low weight, heat insulation, sound absorbency, permeability, elasticity, electrical insulation, excellent textures, wood grain, and shock absorbency.
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) is the most-widely used product type of blowing agents. HFCs has currently become a widely accepted blowing agent type as they are eco-friendly since they have low ozone depletion potential (ODP). Also, these are used as a replacement for hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) as they are scheduled to phase out by 2030. HCFCs are harmful to the environment and hence are scheduled to phase out. This is driving the manufacturers to use HFCs as a replacement for HCFCs in most of the applications.
