Protocol reduction
target 2020 -2025 and
total phase out 2030
with a allowance on
servicing @ 2.5% from
2030 to 2040

-Generation of Co2 by iso with
water reaction
-Evaporation of external gases
(Blowing agents) with the

 Mechanical Properties are excellent .
 High GWP is a negative point
Protocol adherence
 Low boiling point also not permit to
use this BA in high ambient Temp.
