1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutane, a new non-ozone-depleting blowing agent for rigid PUR foams : HFC356, a candidate for North American appliance foam formulations.

Author(s) : LAMBERTS W. M., BALL E. E.

Summary

HFC-356 has no short-term potential since three to four years of toxicology testing (including a multimillion dollar inhalation study) need to be completed before commercialization. Its thermal conductivity properties and boiling point which are similar to R11 make it an attractive alternative. Potentially high price per pound and pressure from environmental concerns could stop any and all research on this chemical at any time.
