Abstract

This invention relates to a process for producing phenolic foams frown phenolic resins using a blowing agent comprising 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutane. These blowing agents are much more environmentally friendly than the conventional chlorofluorocarbons and do not adversely affect the properties of the foams produced.
