- CSIR-IICT in Hyderabad and ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop indigenous, eco-friendly blowing agent technology for strategic applications.
- The collaboration pairs IICT's expertise in fluorochemical synthesis, process development and safe handling of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride with VSSC's application-specific requirements and evaluation capabilities.
- The focus is on HydroFluoro-Olefins, which have zero ozone depletion potential and ultra-low global warming potential and are replacing high-GWP alternatives amid stricter environmental regulations.
- Both institutions said the partnership could reduce India's dependence on imported specialty fluorochemicals and move towards commercialisation.
What to watch next
- Progress of the collaboration from research towards commercialisation of HFO-based blowing agents
- Whether the indigenous technology reduces imports of specialty fluorochemicals
- Details on specific strategic applications and timelines from VSSC
