Polyurethane Foam

You already know you'll have to find a blowing agent to replace HCFC 141b in your polyurethane foam manufacturing process, according to the Montreal Protocol.

At ExxonMobil Chemical, we have a simple question to ask about your plans. Why wait when you can make the change now to Exxsol Blowing Agents and take advantage immediately of these benefits?

  • Foam properties comparable to HCFC 141b
  • Zero ozone depletion
  • Cost effective

The Exxsol family of high-purity, cyclopentane-based blowing agents is the wise choice for meeting environmental and performance requirements.

They produce foaming properties similar to HCFC 141b with no ozone depletion.

ExxonMobil Chemical offers you the resources and the expertise to help you make the change. We are one of the world's largest manufacturers of hydrocarbon fluids. We have extensive experience in producing high-purity cyclopentane in both European and North American facilities. ExxonMobil Chemical actively participates as a member of PIMA and AHAM.

We are the right choice for a change that can start paying benefits now. If you'd like to evaluate an Exxsol blowing agent for your particular application, please contact us today.

More Performance Benefits
Exxsol blowing agents are the products of a five-year research and development process by ExxonMobil Chemical. Exxsol blowing agents have demonstrated their high standards of performance in numerous laboratory tests and pilot plant trials.

High Insulation Efficiency

Foams made with Exxsol blowing agents provide an effective barrier that delivers high insulating efficiency.


Less Blowing Agent Required
It takes less Exxsol blowing agent to produce the same number of pounds of foam made with HCFC 141b.

Dimensional Stability and Compressive Strength Similar to HCFC 141b

Exxsol blowing agents enable production of rigid foams that meet industry specifications.

High Blowing Efficiency

The components of Exxsol blowing agents are balanced, resulting in high blowing efficiency.

Excellent Adhesion to Facia

Foams produced with Exxsol blowing agent have better adhesion to facia than those made with HCFC 141b.

Appropriate Solubility

Exxsol blowing agents have high solubility in polyols which gives homogeneous polyol blends with a long shelf life. Exxsol blowing agents also have low solubility in the foam matrix minimizing softening of the foam.

Excellent Integral Skin Thickness

When used in flexible foam production, Exxsol blowing agents produce a thick, integral skin for a durable end product.

Low Order of Toxicity

Exxsol blowing agents are on EPA's Significant New Alternative Policy (SNAP) list for approved alternatives to HCFC 141b for most applications.
  • Chemically stable, no corrosive effect on equipment
  • Easily handled at room temperature
