European Phenolic Foam Association
Recent meetings
No recorded meetings with EU commissioners.
Mission & Goals
EPFA includes companies that share an interest in the use of phenolic foam products within the insulation industry. The members are either producers of phenolic foam insulation resin suppliers or are companies closely linked with the industry through the provision of raw materials. The Association continues to promote the benefits of phenolic foam and particularly its performance in terms of fire and smoke emission. These properties coupled with the foam’s low toxicity and excellent thermal conductivity make it the ideal material for many applications. Phenolic foams have traditionally been used in specialist thermal insulation in the heating and ventilating and refrigeration industries and now more increasingly within building applications.
