    Honeywell recently announced that Hisense, China's leading home appliance manufacturer, will use Honeywell's new generation of low-global warming potential insulation blowing agents to further improve the energy efficiency of refrigerators and freezers and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
    .

    The global warming potential of Honeywell's Solstice® liquid blowing agent is 1, which is 99.
    9% lower than the currently widely used HFC-245fa blowing agent, minimizing the carbon emissions of the blowing agent
    .
    It expands the closed-cell polyurethane foam insulation used in refrigerators and freezers to maximize the insulation properties
    of the foam.

    It is understood that Solstice liquid foaming agent is non-flammable, and compared with the flammable cyclopentane commonly used in the insulation layer of home appliances, it can improve the energy efficiency level
    of 8%~10%.
    Solstice liquid blowing agents are non-volatile organic compounds and are certified by the U.
    S.
    Environmental Protection Agency's Important New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) and registered with
    the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation.
    In May 2014, Honeywell announced the mass production of Solstice liquid blowing agents at its new world-class facility in Louisiana, USA to meet rapidly growing market demand
