These agents facilitate the formation of a cellular structure in polymers, resulting in lightweight and insulating foam products. The Blowing Agent Market is projected to reach USD 2.3 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.5% from USD 1.8 billion in 2024. 🔂Key Applications: ● Construction: Blowing agents are essential in the production of insulation materials like polystyrene and polyurethane foams, providing energy efficiency and thermal insulation in buildings. ● Automotive: They are used to create lightweight parts, reducing vehicle weight and improving fuel efficiency. ● Packaging: Foam products made with blowing agents offer excellent cushioning and protection for fragile items during shipping. 🔂Types of Blowing Agents: ● Physical Blowing Agents: Include gases like carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons, which expand the polymer matrix. ● Chemical Blowing Agents: These undergo a chemical reaction to produce gas, such as azodicarbonamide. 🔂Innovations in the sector are driven by the need for environmental sustainability. The industry is moving towards eco-friendly alternatives to traditional blowing agents, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving product safety. Zero-ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) blowing agents are at the forefront of this transformation. ✔️𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔: Honeywell (US), Solvay (Belgium), Arkema (France), ExxonMobil (US), Linde PLC (UK), Daikin Industries, Ltd.

🤷🏻 Is there such a thing as Cleaner, Greener, Smarter Steel??? 💡 The overall aim of SUSTAIN (Task 1) is to reduce steelmaking carbon emissions by capturing and converting CO2 into commercially valuable products. 💡 Valuable products made from CO2 will lower the overall cost of carbon capture and sequestration to create virtuous integration between steel and chemicals manufacturing. Our next generation technology was initially developed as a small scale 0.1 t/d mobile capture unit which is being deployed at steelmaking sites so the refined gases can be converted to a number of value-added products including #ethanol, #methanol and #DME for use as synthetic transport fuels. Our co-founder's Professor Peter Styring and Dr George Dowson discuss the project in our video below. https://lnkd.in/gVtdVEgP You can also find out more here: https://lnkd.in/g7yEFusd #circulareconomy #sustainablesteel #decarbonisation #carboncapture #carbonutilisation

The hydrogen-reduced pure iron was produced in the Hyfor pilot plant, while the historical melting took place in the company's own Technikum Metallurgie research facility, a unique complete steelworks in miniature. The low-CO2 steel was further processed in the wire rod mill into rolling bearing steel, which is characterised by its particular hardness and wear resistance.

𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 The demand for aluminium is changing and increasing rapidly due primarily to electrification and changes in the automotive industry. Virgin aluminium carries a relatively high carbon footprint. Luckily, aluminium is a highly recyclable material. There is however a mismatch between the return scrap to recycle and the most common alloys used with large amounts post-consumer scrap. This requires addition of elements such as Si that significantly increases the carbon footprint and the energy usage in recycling. To address this, new alloys are being developed matching needs of the automotive industry. Learn more in our webinar with Benjamin Brash at Stena Aluminium, and Anders Jarfors from the the School of Engineering at Jönköping University where they also discuss state of change with both the electrification taking place and the large-scale manufacturing route change following the introduction of Giga/Mega casting for floor, frames and battery casings. After the webinar, you'll know more about: 🔹 Aluminium recycling and environmental impact considerations 🔹 New climate efficient alloys 🔹 Automotive industry aluminium usage 🔹 Closed loop recycling in the automotive industry and potential climate gains 👉 Check out more and register at https://lnkd.in/dEyZxvrm 🗓️ 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲, 𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬-𝟭𝟭:𝟯𝟬 (𝗖𝗘𝗧) 𝗼𝗻 𝗭𝗼𝗼𝗺
