Built on the Changshu site, China, as part of the 60% Arkema / 40% Daikin owned Arkema Daikin Advanced Fluorochemicals Co. Ltd joint venture (ADAF), this world-scale production unit falls in line with Arkema’s strategy to serve its customers in Asia, a growth region in which China is a major player in the manufacture of air-conditioning equipment. HFC-125, with HFC-32, is an essential component in new-generation refrigerant blends.
