BASF’s innovative PIR (Polyisocyanurate) System made with Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) as a blowing agent, is used for the first time in continuous sandwich panel applications. HFO’s significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) compared to pentane. The improved thermal conductivity further translates to a more energy-efficient PIR insulation system, which contributes to a reduction in carbon emissions.
