Summary

The drawback of rigid polyurethane foams is their content of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) insulating gas. Reports that the HEW along with the companies Pan-Isovit and Bayer decided to set up a test line with constant temperature monitoring. Notes that neither the mechanical properties nor the insulation efficiency have been changed significantly during the two-year experience.
