HFC 245fa advantages in spray application

- Quicker rise

- Larger application window

- Lower operating temperature

- Less shrinkage - reversion

- Easily applies on cold surfaces

- Equivalent or better yield

- Drums used for 141b systems can be used for

systems with ~10% of 245fa

- Minimal 245fa loss during blending- Confirmed by calculation and experimentation
