The Energy Critical Foam session focuses on the next generation of low Global Warming Potential (GWP) blowing agents. As the picture of availability of these new blowing agents, becomes clearer, the next year will be a critical time as manufacturers focus on these new offerings. This session concentrates on the new ultra low GWP blowing agents used in combination with current blowing agents. This gives additional formulation flexibility while obtaining a more optimum performance. Process improvements are included to help optimize both process and physical properties. New raw materials are also evaluated with the next generation blowing agents to make more robust formulations. Papers will be given from raw material suppliers, an additive supplier, a blowing agent supplier, and original equipment manufacturers on formulation flexibility and performance; process improvements to help optimize both process and physical properties; and new raw materials.
