Ecofoam: Advanced Polyurethane Foam Engineered for Modern HVAC Compliance

As HVAC manufacturers pursue higher efficiency standards and respond to rapidly tightening global environmental regulations, insulation materials must deliver superior technical performance while supporting responsible and sustainable production.

Ecofoam® polyurethane foam is engineered to meet these priorities. It provides high thermal performance, stability under extreme conditions, and a fully compliant environmental profile that supports the long term direction of the HVAC industry.

Ecofoam® is powered by Ecomate® blowing agent technology, an EPA SNAP approved solution with zero Global Warming Potential, zero Ozone Depletion Potential, and VOC exempt classification. This combination allows HVAC manufacturers to meet efficiency targets without reliance on legacy HFCs or other environmentally harmful chemistries.

High Performance Material Science for HVAC Efficiency

Ecofoam® is designed for high performance across a wide range of HVAC applications that demand reliable thermal stability, strong adhesion, and predictable processing behavior. Its formulation provides the following operational advantages:

• Thermal Efficiency Ecofoam® delivers R values up to 8.2 at a thickness of 1 inch. This supports tighter thermal control and improved energy efficiency across heat pumps, air handlers, packaged units, and refrigeration integrated HVAC systems.
• Moisture Control The closed cell structure helps limit moisture ingress and improves long term performance of insulated panels and enclosures.
• Air Flow Management Consistent distribution and strong adhesion help create uniform insulation layers that contribute to proper air containment and system stability.
• Structural Enhancement The foam matrix provides reinforcement to sheet metal and composite assemblies, improving cabinet rigidity and reducing vibration.
• Noise Abatement Ecofoam® contributes to sound dampening and acoustic performance in residential and commercial HVAC units.
• Environmental Responsibility Ecofoam® is VOC exempt, PFAS free, and contains no materials that contribute to smog formation. It is fully compliant with major environmental protection protocols that guide the HVAC sector.

Zero Impact Environmental Profile

Ecofoam® provides a sustainability pathway that eliminates high risk chemical categories while maintaining the performance required for modern HVAC systems. Its environmental advantages include:

These attributes allow manufacturers to meet regulatory expectations and corporate ESG objectives without compromising technical performance.

Classification and Safety Advantages

The Ecofoam® family of polyurethane foam products is classified as Non Hazardous under DOT and OSHA regulations. It is also classified as Non Flammable under both ADR and the Global Harmonized System. Ecofoam® is available in multiple container types to support various production environments and has a stable six month shelf life when stored according to the Safety Data Sheet.

Manufacturing Flexibility and Equipment Compatibility

Ecofoam® is compatible with all high pressure and low pressure metering systems. Manufacturers can integrate Ecofoam® without major process changes, which reduces adoption barriers and supports efficient transition away from legacy blowing agents.

FSI equipment solutions such as SLUG Pro® and Onsite ACT™ can be used to enhance production consistency and quality control. Although Ecofoam® does not require proprietary machinery, these tools can help optimize foam uniformity and process stability.

Insulation Performance Under Extreme Conditions

Ecofoam® maintains its insulation characteristics across a wide temperature range. Third party testing demonstrates that the Ecomate® blowing agent does not condense at temperatures as low as minus 85 degrees Celsius or minus 121 degrees Fahrenheit. This characteristic supports HVAC systems that operate in low temperature or refrigeration integrated environments and ensures long term stability of insulation performance.

A Future Ready Solution for Modern HVAC Demands

Ecofoam® polyurethane foam offers HVAC manufacturers a high performance insulation system that meets the technical, environmental, and regulatory needs of the industry. Its excellent thermal properties, material stability, sustainable formulation, and compatibility with existing production equipment provide a clear advantage for manufacturers seeking reliable and responsible solutions.

Ecofoam® represents a next generation approach to polyurethane foam insulation that supports the future of efficient, environmentally aligned HVAC design.
