SNAP Approval
Transcend® technology has no ozone depletio npotential (ODP), and due to its very short atmospheric lifetime, the global warming potential (GWP) of Transcend® additive is much lower than HFCs and about equal to HCs.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has granted Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) approval for Transcend® additive technology. This makes Transcend® additive available for a broad range of application in combination with other SNAP approved materials such as HFCs and hydrocarbons for most polyisocyanurate (PIR) and polyurethane (PUR) foam formulations.
With the gradual phase-out of ozone-depleting substances, such as HCFC-141b, Transcend® additive technology enhances the performance of many new blowing agent alternatives in the foam market.
Arkema's Transcend® additive technology approved by EPA as replacement for HCFCs.
