SOPREMA has chosen Honeywell’s low Global Warming Potential Solstice® Gas Blowing Agent (GBA) for production of the SOPRA-XPS product line. SOPREMA replaced HFC-134a with Solstice GBA in its entire SOPRA-XPS panel production at its manufacturing site in Sherbrooke, Québec.
By replacing hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agents with low-GWP solutions, SOPREMA meets changing environmental regulations calling for a global phase down of HFCs. Solstice GBA provides energy efficiency performance similar to that of HFC-134a, and superior to that of carbon dioxide. Based on hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) technology, Solstice GBA has a GWP of less than 1 (more than 99.9% lower than HFCs and lower than carbon dioxide).
SOPRA-XPS meets performance requirements while staying ahead of changing environmental regulations requiring a transition to low-GWP blowing agents. With proven reliable performance, thanks to the Solstice GBA, SOPRA-XPS offers the most innovative, sustainable, and safe solutions for insulation in its category!
