Global adoption of Solstice™ Liquid Blowing Agent could save the equivalent of 60 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year
Brussels, October 3, 2011 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) introduced a new liquid blowing agent in the company’s growing family of low-global-warming materials.
Solstice™ Liquid Blowing Agent can be used in a variety of insulation applications including spray-foam, foam insulating panels and refrigerator insulation. Use of the new material can make refrigerators up to 10 to 12 percent more energy efficient than those insulated by hydrocarbon-blown foam, and more than 2 percent more energy efficient than refrigerators containing today’s most widely-used insulating agent, HFC-245fa. In residential and commercial building spray-applied insulating foam, Solstice Liquid Blowing Agent provides a 5 percent improvement in thermal insulation value over HFC-245fa-based spray foam.
