ATOFINA is the world's largest supplier
of Forane® fluorochemical blowing agents for the rigid
foam and other industries. ATOFINA, as manufacturers of
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC's), hydrofluorocarbons
(HFC's) and hydrochlorocarbons (HCC's), has the widest
product range of any industrial manufacturer. As a part
of the Total Group, ATOFINA has an internal source of
supply for pentanes.
ATOFINA is committed to the foam plastic industry, having
been the first producer of HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b, materials
which replaced CFC-11 and CFC-12. ATOFINA has continued
to develop solutions beyond HCFC's, introducing hydrocarbon
blowing agents, improving processing of HFC-134a, and
improving fire performance of pentanes using trans-1,2-dichloroethylene,
with more on the horizon.
ATOFINA's commitment to you starts with quality, ISO certified
products and continues with ISO Certified Customer Service,
technical support groups located on two continents, and
sales staff located around the globe.

Petrochemicals, Specialties and Fertilizers, of a new
decentralized organization, which would eventually become

CIP, would consolidate the Chlorochemicals, Intermediates
