Polyurethane foams are used in many applications including household and commercial refrigerators and freezers, building insulation and roofing, doors, cushioning, packaging, sprays and marine flotation, etc. The polyurethane foam industry was radically shaken up by the discovery, in the mid 1980s, that certain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used as blowing agents can damage the environment. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) were developed as replacements, but they are now scheduled to be phased out as they also have ozone depleting potential. Global agreements have been introduced such as the Mont.
