Ecomate® is PFAS-free, proven, and production ready.
Innovation in the commercial refrigeration industry is increasingly defined by environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance. As global awareness around PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and their environmental impact continues to grow, manufacturers are seeking reliable, future-proof alternatives.
The Ecomate® family of polyurethane systems was developed to meet these evolving demands, offering high-performance insulation solutions that are completely PFAS-free and aligned with today’s sustainability standards. Designed for superior thermal efficiency without compromising environmental or human health, Ecomate® systems are ideally suited for a wide range of commercial refrigeration applications, from beverage coolers to walk-in freezers.
A Proven PFAS-Free Alternative
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large class of synthetic chemicals widely used for their water- and grease-resistant properties, as well as their thermal stability.
However, PFAS are also known as “forever chemicals” due to their extreme persistence in the environment and resistance to natural degradation. They have been linked to a range of potential health effects, including developmental, immune, and endocrine disruption, and are now the subject of growing regulatory action across the globe.
In the commercial refrigeration industry, many traditional polyurethane foam systems have historically incorporated PFAS-containing additives or blowing agents—raising concern among manufacturers, regulators, and end-users alike. FSI’s Ecomate® technology offers a proven, PFAS-free alternative that eliminates these concerns while maintaining exceptional insulation performance and process efficiency.
Ecomate® is a patented, SNAP-approved, non-flammable blowing agent formulated without PFAS, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or ozone-depleting substances (ODPs). With an ultra-low global warming potential (GWP < 1), it represents a forward-looking solution that aligns with current and emerging environmental regulations worldwide.
Sustainable Performance Where It Matters Most
Across a wide range of commercial refrigeration applications including supermarket display cases, beverage coolers, walk-in freezers, and refrigerated transport, Ecomate®-based polyurethane systems consistently deliver outstanding performance. Engineered for demanding thermal environments, these foams offer superior insulation properties, excellent dimensional stability, and long-term durability. These qualities are essential for reducing energy consumption, maintaining product integrity, and extending equipment lifespan, all of which are critical in today’s efficiency-focused market.
Ecomate® also provides manufacturers with clear advantages in sustainability and regulatory compliance. Our systems help manufacturers by:
- Reducing energy consumption through high R-value insulation.
- Supporting the achievement of green building standards and sustainability certifications.
- Enabling proactive compliance with PFAS-related regulations across global markets.
