Primarily used as a blowing agent in the production of polyurethane foams, it helps create lightweight and insulating materials. These foams are widely applied in construction for insulation panels, in automotive industries for seat cushions, and in refrigeration for insulating refrigerators and freezers. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, contributing to the development of adhesives, coatings, and elastomers. Its role in enhancing energy efficiency and material performance makes it valuable across multiple industries.
