Understanding the Transition from HFC to HFO in Spray Foam Blowing Agents, Part One: Spray Foam Chemistry

The latest EPA guidelines are calling for a transition from hydrofluorocarbon – or HFC – in spray foam blowing agents to hydrofluoroolefin – or HFO.

To better understand HFCs, HFOs, and blowing agents, we first need to examine spray foam chemistry.
