Summary
The search for an acceptable fluorochemical blowing agent for foam insulation has turned to 2 to 4 carbon liquid and gaseous hydrofluorocarbons. Liquid hydrofluorocarbons are preferred because of their superior insulating ability, but have the onus of higher cost. The paper focuses on the top two candidates.
