URETHANE SYSTEMS
A better solution
for Ozone depletion and the environment
Changing the
future with greener products
AUS recognizes
the serious challenges facing the environment and is committed to improving
the environmental performance of our products.
As evidenced
by the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols there are growing concerns over global
warming, greenhouse gases and ozone depletion. Finding suitable alternatives
for blowing agent HCFC-141b was challenging, as suitable candidates that have
zero ozone depleting potential can contribute to global warming. That's why
AUS has committed to use and supply a new generation of blowing agent that
not only does not have any impact on the ozone layer but also does not contribute
to global warming. It has also been VOC exempted by EPA in the USA as a volatile
organic compound commonly known as SMOG.

After the blowing
agent HCFC-141b phase-out deadline, companies pursued alternatives such as
HFC-134a, HFC-245fa. The industry began thinking about their global warming
potential (GWP), particularly in certain regions, such as Europe, where hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs) are under increasing scrutiny. (see the report) "First
appearance and rapid growth of anthropogenic HFC-245fa (CHF2CH2CF3) in the
atmosphere"
Ecomate systems
are now being used by polyurethane manufacturers who want their products to
be greener. Among them is Franke Foodservice Equipment. Franke is the main
supplier of "turn-key" systems to McDonald's and manufacture commercial
kitchen equipments such as slide-in refrigerators, fryers, and food preparation
carts etc.
Pictures below are examples of McDonald's equipment that Franke manufacture utilizing Ecomate systems.
