Summary

Two major Danish producers of domestic refrigerators and freezers have changed to cyclopentane blown insulation foam and four Danish companies, covering more than half of the world production of preinsulated district heating pipes have developed new pipes where the insulation foam is blown with cyclopentane or similar technology. Sandwich insulation panels blown with water, creating CO2, can be used with good results. This development has been encouraged by the Danish phasing-out strategy consisting of three instruments: a tax on CFC and halon, a statutory order gradually banning the use of ODS for specific purposes and a development programme to support non-ODS technology. Extract of contents: polyurethane in Denmark; Danish phase-out strategy; international cooperation; industrial projects (refrigerators and freezers; district heating pipes; industrial doors and portals; jointing foam; flexible integral foam; suppliers of know-how, raw materials and machinery); names and addresses.
