Eco-friendly HFO Foaming Agents

Foaming Agents Business

Foaming agents are widely used in roof tiles, concrete slabs and walls of residential and commercial buildings,
and replace conventional insulation and thermal insulation materials.
Foaming agents maintain a comfortable temperature regardless of the weather.
They can also increase energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary or excessive heating and cooling use.

As the use of foaming agents for insulation purposes increases,
international standards for foaming agents are rising to increase energy efficiency while minimizing impact on the environment.
Ecofine is bolstering cooperation and providing active support by supplying eco-friendly foaming agents from Chemours,
an American chemical company, to the domestic market to help related industries respond to global warming and increase energy and cost efficiency.
