- High insulation performance
- Low GWP of <1
- Non-flammable and safe to use
- Low rate of diffusion and longer insulation life
- Low transition costs to convert from HFC and non-fluorocarbon blowing agents
Honeywell Solstice® Gas Blowing Agent (GBA) has been developed for extruded polystyrene, and pressurized one- and two-component PUR foams. It is a replacement for HFC-134a and other fluorocarbon and non-fluorocarbon blowing agents. Solstice GBA is non-flammable having a boiling point of -3°F. It has an ultra low GWP of <1, a low MIR, low POCP and low contribution to ground level smog formation. Solstice GBA allows extrusion of thick, dimensionally stable foam. XPS boards produced using Solstice GBA have achieved lambda values as low as 27mW/m•K as per EN 13164 Annex C. Solstice GBA is a near drop-in replacement for many extrusion processes currently using CO2, HFC-134a and HFC-152a blowing agents.Information provided by Honeywell |
