Developments in refrigerated transport insulation since the phase out of CFC and HCFC refrigerants.

Summary

Under the Montreal Protocol in January 1996, many countries ceased production of CFC gases (chlorofluorocarbons). Then in January 2003, the use of interim HCFC gases (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) was banned for the production of polyurethane foam. These changes opened up the refrigeration industry for new developments in refrigerant gases, insulations and techniques. New developments in thermal insulation may benefit industry with alternative physical characteristics but foremost may offer energy savings and make new tax incentives available.
