Low-pressure foaming machine

The Executive Committee recommended that small pressurized foam dispenser system at a much lower cost than that of full size high pressure machines, and "solventless dispensing guns" instead of the large size foam machine) should be considered in low-consuming enterprises in other Article 5 countries. It further recommended that UNEP should highlight this technology in the OzonAction news letter once the projects had been implemented.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/15/45, para. 94).

The Eighteenth Meeting of the Executive Committee requested the Implementing Agencies to study the feasibility of using low pressure machines with HCFC-141b formulations in the manufacture of rigid foams.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/18/75, Annex V, para. 3).

The Twentieth Meeting of the Executive Committee requested the Secretariat and the Implementing Agency to co-operate in resolving outstanding technical issues on the paper on the study on low-pressure versus high-pressure foaming machines.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/72, Decision 20/47, para. 70).

(Supporting document: UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/67).

The Thirty-third Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to take note of the actions proposed for follow-up by the Secretariat in co-operation with the Implementing Agencies (finalizing the guidelines for equipment destruction and reviewing the agreement on eligibility of high-pressure machines for rigid foam insulation projects), in line with the principles of sustainable and long-term conversion.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/33/32, Decision 33/2, para. 18(m)).
