Refrigerant manufacturer says transition to lower-GWP important
Chemours has announced a 30 per cent hike in the price of high-GWP refrigerants R404A and R507 in the EU from May 1, or as contracts and law allow.
The firm said transition from high-GWP products like R404A to low-GWP technologies like itsOpteon range of HFO solutions will help drive the EU market to achieve the goals outlined in the F-Gas Regulation. It added that Chemours is ’well-positioned to help the market achieve this transition with products like Opteon XP40, XP44 and XP10, which are commercially available and successfully used in thousands of systems today.’
