Foam Blowing Agents

Enovate® 245fa

Enovate® 245fa has been the standard in HFC technology for polyurethane foam applications worldwide. It offers proven insulating performance and excellent materials compatibility.

Overview
Honeywell Enovate® 245fa blowing agent (HFC-245fa) is a proven replacement for HCFC-141b and other hydrofluorocarbon and nonfluorocarbon blowing agents in rigid polyurethane foam.

Honeywell Enovate 245fa is:

  • Non-ozone-depleting
  • Nonflammable (ASTM E-681, EU A11)
  • Listed under the U.S. EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to replace ozone-depleting substances. (See the Environmental tab for more information)
  • Listed on the TSCA inventory/registered under REACH
  • VOC-exempt (per U.S. EPA)
  • Manufactured in the U.S.
