Foam Blowing Agents

Introduction

Regulatory

Background

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has listed Opteon™ 1100 and Opteon™ 1150 asacceptable substitutes in foam blowing agents for the end
uses listed below under the Significant New Alternatives
Policy (SNAP) program.

With the establishment and the continued evolution of theMontreal Protocol, the foam blowing agents (FBAs) used
for closed-cell polymeric foam products have changed
dramatically over the last two decades. Beginning in 1989,
both thermoset and thermoplastic foam industries
worldwide moved away from chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) infavor of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), such as
HCFC-141b and 142b. These alternatives were chosen as
they provided a greatly decreased Ozone Depletion
Potential (ODP). Today, countries have either eliminated theuse of, or are in the process of phasing out HCFCs in foam
applications in order to meet the amended Montreal
Protocol’s regulated goal of zero ODP foam blowing agents.

• Rigid Polyurethane Spray Foam (HighPressure Two-Component)• Integral Skin Polyurethane• Laminated Boardstock• Rigid Polyurethane Appliance• Rigid Polyurethane Commercial Refrigeration

This has led to the widespread use of third-generation zero
ODP hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) foam blowing agents, suchas HFC-245fa, HFC-365mfc, and HFC-134a. However,maturing environmental awareness has put such HFCs
under regulation and, per the Kigali Agreement, are being
phased out (based on application and country) due to theirmoderate Global Warming Potentials (GWPs). As a result,many countries and polymeric foam manufacturers findthemselves in need of a zero ODP and low GWP foam
expansion agent.

• Rigid Polyurethane Sandwich Panels• Rigid Polyurethane Slabstock and other
Opteon™ 1100 is subject to the Significant New Use Rule
(SNUR) in United States, 40 CFR 721.10830. Export
notification requirements from the United States arereferenced in the Opteon™ 1100 Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
regulatory section.
Opteon™ 1150 is subject to a Significant New Use Rule
(SNUR) under the U.S. EPA Toxic Substance Control Act(TSCA) – 40 CFR § 721.10907. Export notification
requirements according to TSCA §12(b) are referenced in
the Opteon™ 1150 safety data sheet (SDS) regulatory
section..

Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 Blend Uses
Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 are zero ODP, low GWP foam
expansion agents. With GWPs of 2 and 7 respectively, (1)Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 both readily meet regulation
established by the Montreal Protocol individually andblended.

This technical bulletin is intended for general informational
purposes only. As we are always discovering new andunique applications for blends of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150,
one should consult the Chemours™ technical staff to best
serve your application’s needs. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
for blends of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 should always be
consulted prior to use for additional information.

Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 are used as physical foam
blowing agents for thermoset polymer foams including
polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, and phenolic resins, as wellas thermoplastic foams such as polystyrene or polyolefins.
Opteon™ FBAs are non-flammable and low toxicity
molecules, which provide excellent formulation stability as
well as low vapor thermal conductivities.

Properties

Blends of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 have shown many
advantages as primary or co-blowing agents inpolyurethane foam resins, or froth foams. In Spray
Polyurethane Foam (SPF) applications, blends of Opteon™
1100 and 1150 have shown improvements in cold
temperature application behavior as well as insulation
performance.(2) For appliance and cold chain applications,blends demonstrated significantly improved low
temperature insulation performance versus incumbent HFC
BAs.(3) In panel applications, blends of Opteon™ 1100 and
1150 in combination with pentanes have shown
advantages in lower k-factors and improving aged
insulation behavior.(4) Consult your local Chemours™
Technical Service representative with question about theappropriate blends for your application.

Chemical Properties
Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 are hydrofluorinated compounds
containing a double bond, otherwise known as ahydrofluoro-olefins (HFOs). These molecules do not containchlorine or bromine; therefore, they have zero ODP. The
double bond of these molecules allows Opteon™ 1100 and
1150 to maintain thermal stability in closed systems suchas polymeric foams, but when accidentally released to theatmosphere, they have a very short atmospheric lifetime.
This short atmospheric lifetime leads to Opteon™ 1100
and 1150 having 100-year ITH Global Warming Potentialsof 2 and 7 respectively (AR5). Chemical information for
Opteon™ 1100 is shown in Table 1. Chemical information
for Opteon™ 1150 is shown in Table 2.

Temperature (SI Units)

Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 blends will decompose when
exposed to temperatures in excess of several hundred
degrees Celsius (such as prolonged exposure to flame
sources). Decomposition may produce toxic and/or
irritating compounds, such as hydrogen fluoride. The
decomposition products released will irritate the nose andthroat. Therefore, it is important to prevent exposure todecomposition products by following the Chemours™’
Safety Data Sheet’s recommendations for handling.
Compatibility with Metals
Compatibility tests were conducted in heavy walled glass
tubes in accordance with ASHRAE 97. The tests wereconducted with metal coupons (copper, brass, carbon steel,stainless steel, and aluminum) in the presence of Opteon™
1100 and 1150 and aged for 14 days at 175 °C. Changes
in weight and appearance of the metal coupons wererecorded. The liquid solutions were also evaluated forappearance and decomposition products such as fluoride.
There were no changes in the color of the liquid or thecondition of the metals at the conclusion of this test.

Chemical/Thermal Stability and Compatibility
Due to the wide range of applications in which Opteon™
1100 and 1150 blends can be used, it is important toalways review the system’s chemicals as well as thematerials of construction for compatibility before using
Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 blends in a new application. The
following are general test results. To determine thecompatibility of the specific system and materials being
considered for use, additional tests should be consideredat the conditions of the system. Opteon™ 1100 and 1150
blends are azeotrope like, but compositional drift can occur.
Contact your Chemours™ Technical Service representative
to ensure proper handling.

Compatibility with Elastomers
Compatibility tests with elastomers were performed
similar to the metal stability tests, except the aging wasdone at room temperature (23 °C, 74 °F). This test
indicates that Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 blends arecompatible with most of the common elastomers which
exhibit negligible swelling, weight gain, or hardness change
after exposure. This is shown in Table 3.
Compatibility with Plastics
Plastics compatibility tests were similarly performed byexposing plastic materials to Opteon™ 1100 and 1150
blends at room temperature for two weeks. Weight, volume
and hardness before and after the exposure were
measured. Observations of changes are summarized inTable 4, which indicates that Opteon™ 1100 and 1150
blends are compatible with commonly employed plastics.

Chemical Stability
Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 blends are expected to be stable
when used in combination with many typical polyurethane
foam components including polyols, surfactants, catalysts,
and flame retardants indicating no compatibility problems
for at least 6 months at 50°C. Consult your Chemours™
technical representative for details.

As always, verifying compatibility using fabricated parts
under end-user conditions is advised as the performance ofplastics is affected by polymer variations, compounding
agents, fillers and molding processes.

Thermal Decomposition
Although blends of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 contains
carbon-carbon double bonds, the molecules and blend
show remarkable stability at temperatures up to 250°C forat least 2 weeks in the presence of air, moisture and metals(ASHRAE Standard 97 Sealed Tube Method).

Safe Use
Inhaling high concentrations of blends of Opteon™ 1100
and 1150 vapor may cause temporary central nervous
system effects such as convulsions, dizziness, headache,confusion, loss of coordination, and even loss of
consciousness. Higher exposures to the vapors may cause
temporary alteration of the heart’s electrical activity withirregular pulse, palpitations, or inadequate circulation.
Intentional misuse or deliberate inhalation may cause death
without warning.

Users of blends of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 should readand understand the Chemours™’ Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Copies of the blend of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 SDS canbe obtained from Chemours™ Customer Service orInternational Offices (see last page of this document for
locations and telephone numbers) or from any Chemours™
authorized distributor.
Inhalation Toxicity
When handled in accordance with Chemours™
recommendations and when exposure is maintained below
the WEEL of 400 ppm (8-hr TWA) for pure Opteon™ 1150,
no acute or chronic adverse health effects are expectedfrom exposure to Opteon™ 1150. Opteon™ 1100 and
1150 blends should only be used with adequate ventilation
and when inhalation is a possibility, NIOSH approved
respiratory protection should be employed.

If a person is experiencing any of the initial symptoms, theyshould be moved to fresh air and kept calm. If not breathing,give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, giveoxygen. Seek medical attention immediately.
If vapors are inhaled at concentrations above 20,000 ppm,
which is well above the WEEL, severe convulsions may
occur, and death may result. Additionally, the heart may
8Opteon™ 1100/1150 Blends

Foam Blowing Agents

become sensitized to adrenaline, leading to cardiac
irregularities and, possibly, cardiac arrest. Similar effects
are observed with many hydrocarbons and halocarbons athigh concentrations. The likelihood of these cardiac
problems increases if the person is under physical oremotional stress.

Always use SCBA or a supplied air mask when enteringtanks or other confined spaces where vapors might exist.
Use the buddy system, a lifeline, and regular air monitoring.
Refer to the blend of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 SDS for
more information.
Air Monitors and Leak Detection

Because of possible disturbances of cardiac rhythm,
catecholamine drugs, such as epinephrine, should beconsidered only as a last resort in life-threatening
emergencies.

Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 vapors have virtually no odor.
Therefore, frequent leak checks or the installation of area
monitors are necessary in areas where leaks can occur.
Whenever a system is assembled or serviced, it should bechecked for leaks. This is not only for the protection of
employees, but also to reduce fugitive emissions to theatmosphere, protect valuable equipment, and theconservation of material.

Skin and Eye Contact
At room temperature, Opteon™ 1100 and 1150 vapors
have little or no effect on the skin or eyes.
Always wear protective clothing (e.g., eye protection andface shield) when there is a risk of exposure to liquid
Opteon™ 1100 or 1150. If skin or eye contact occurs, flush
the exposed area in lukewarm water, not cold or hot, for atleast 15 minutes. Seek medical attention as soon as
possible.

Leak detectors exist not only for pinpointing specific leaks,
but also for monitoring an entire room on a continual basis
for the absence of oxygen or presence of a fluorochemical.
Prior to the purchase of a detector or monitor, make sure
you consider your requirements or criteria for the monitor,
such as sensitivity, detection limits, selectivity, andflammability.

Spills or Leaks

There are many commercially available leak detectors.
These devices are readily available through a refrigeration
contractor or service store. For more information on
recommended types and technologies of air monitors andleak detectors, please contact Chemours™ Customer
Service or any authorized Chemours™ Technical Service
representative.

If a large release of vapors occurs, such as from a large leakor spill, the vapors may concentrate near the floor or in low
elevation areas and displace the oxygen available forbreathing, causing suffocation.
Evacuate everyone until the area has been well ventilated.
Use blowers or fans to circulate the air at floor level. Do not
re-enter the affected area without self-contained breathingapparatus (SCBA) or unless the area has been monitored toindicate that that the concentration of Opteon™ 1100 and
1150 vapors in the area is below the WEEL and oxygen
levels have returned to normal.

Storage and Handling

Major leaks or spills may not evaporate readily due to thehigh boiling point of blends of Opteon™ 1100 and 1150,
forcing recovery as a liquid. Self-contained breathing air(SCBA) is required until levels, as verified by the propermonitor, are reduced sufficiently to permit other or no
respiratory protection. Spill control measures should be
preplanned, and all washes should be disposed of inaccordance with applicable government regulations. If
splash potential exists, wear protective equipment
fabricated from an impervious material such as
butyl rubber.
