Cooling & refrigeration
Regulating temperatures for homes and businesses while reducing the impact on the planet
Global regulations initiated a phasedown of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants. The phasedown affects both the comfort cooling, refrigeration, and technology markets. By 2030, many high-GWP gases like R-22 and R-134A will be banned across the globe by climate accords like the Kigali Agreement.
To address this need, Arkema now offers a range of Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blends and Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) to address the need for high-efficiency, low-GWP refrigerant gases.
Our HFC blends and HFO refrigerants boast an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero and offer similar or better performance than the legacy refrigerants.
