Results for tag: "Polyurethane Foam Blowing Agents"

Polyurethane foam blowing agents are chemicals used in the production of polyurethane foam, a type of plastic used in a variety of applications. These agents are used to create a cellular structure in the foam, providing insulation, cushioning, and other properties. The blowing agents are typically hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). HFCs are the most commonly used blowing agents, as they are non-toxic and non-flammable. HCFCs are also used, but are being phased out due to their ozone-depleting properties. The polyurethane foam blowing agents market is driven by the increasing demand for polyurethane foam in the automotive, construction, and furniture industries. The market is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing demand for energy-efficient insulation materials. Some of the major companies in the polyurethane foam blowing agents market include Honeywell International, Inc., The Dow Chemical Company, Arkema SA, and BASF SE. Show Less Read more
