Hydrocarbon blowing agents like pentane offer a cost-effective alternative to HFCs, providing superior insulation with a higher R-value. Additionally, foams produced with pentane exhibit better dimensional stability, as they are less prone to condensation compared to HFC-blown foams. However, the use of pentane carries some risks, particularly due to its flammability, which necessitates strict safety measures within manufacturing facilities.
Eastchem supplies high quality of pure pentanes as blowing agents for production of polyurethane foam.
