“Surge in Demand for Eco-Friendly Blowing Agents in Insulation Applications”
- A significant trend in the global cyclopentane market is the increasing adoption of cyclopentane as an eco-friendly blowing agent in the production of polyurethane foams for insulation purposes.
- This shift is driven by the phasing out of ozone-depleting substances like HCFCs and HFCs, in line with international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol.
- Cyclopentane offers a low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), making it a preferred choice for manufacturers aiming to meet environmental regulations.
- The demand is particularly strong in the Asia Pacific region due to rapid industrialization and growing construction activities.
