Whirlpool Adds Eco-Friendly Insulation to Its Equipment
Whirlpool has begun phasing out use of HFC-134a, and it has now implemented the use of Honeywell’s Solstice® Liquid Blowing Agent (LBA) insulation in U.S. made-refrigerators and freezers.
In an announcement from Whirlpool’s corporate headquarters in Benton Harbor, Mich., it was noted that the global warming potential (GWP) of the new foam blowing agent is 99.9 percent lower than other foam-blowing agents widely used within the industry.
