SHOE SOLES WITH MF CAN REPLACE HCFC-141b WITH SAME PROPERTIES FLAMMABILITY AT SYSTEM HOUSE TO BE ADDRESSED SAFE FOR ENDUSERS LOW GWP ISSUES WITH PREBLENDING
SHOESOLES WITH HFCs ALREADY APPLIED EMISSIVE (HFC-134a; HFC-245fa) HIGH IOCs/LOW ICCs CURRENT USE VERY LOW HIGH GWP
SHOESOLES WITH WATER ALREADY APPLIED PREFERRED TECHNOLOGY WHEN USING POLYESTERS DENSITY AND SKIN ISSUES IN POLYETHERS LOW GWP
SHOESOLES WITH ML CAN REPLACE HCFC-141b WITH SAME OR BETTER PROPERTIES WIDE-SPREAD MARKET ACCEPTANCE FLAMMABILITY AT SYSTEM HOUSE TO BE ADDRESSED SAFE FOR ENDUSERS LOW GWP
