Honeywell is a world leader in the development, manufacture and supply of refrigerants that are sold worldwide under the Solstice^® and Genetron^® brand names for a range of applications, including refrigeration, building and automobile air conditioning.

The most recent developments consist of

• Solstice N41 (provisional R-466A), a nonflammable and lower global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerant for use in stationary air conditioning systems. Once on the market, Solstice N41 will be the lowest GWP, nonflammable, R-410A replacement refrigerant available worldwide.;
• Solstice L41y, Solstice L41y (R-452B), a commercially available reduced GWP refrigerant designed to replace R-410A for reversible heating and cooling applications;
• Solstice L40X (R-455A), a mildly flammable blend that serves as an alternative for low-, medium- and high-temperature applications in commercial and industrial refrigeration applications (condensing units, water loop systems, plug-in cabinets, monoblocks for cold rooms, heat pumps, chillers).

Chemours is a global leader in fluoroproducts, titanium technologies and chemical solutions, providing market-defining products, application expertise and chemistry-based innovations. Chemours ingredients are found in refrigeration and air conditioning, plastics and coatings, and general industrial manufacturing.

Chemours has developed a range of innovative products, including brands such as Teflon™, Ti-Pure™ and Opteon™.  Since inventing the original fluorine-based refrigerants more than 85 years ago, Chemours has demonstrated leadership and commitment to the global refrigerants industry, transitioning from the original fluoroproducts to new innovative solutions that are non-ozone-depleting and low global warming potential (GWP). Opteon™ low GWP refrigerants are utilised across a broad range of applications including stationary and mobile air conditioning. To help customers meet today’s stringent regulatory requirements, Chemours has developed Opteon™ XL very low GWP refrigerants that provide the optimum balance of properties, safety and sustainability.

Chemours has approximately 8,000 employees across 35 manufacturing sites serving North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
