Greater reliance on technology and expanding global populations have driven the demand for air conditioning and refrigeration to astounding levels. DuPont is leading the industry in the search for sustainable environmental solutions to help the world stay cool while delivering safer, more efficient, and more environmentally sustainable air conditioning and refrigeration products.
With the international agreement to phase out CFC and HCFC refrigerants due to their impact on the global stratospheric ozone layer, the industry was faced with the challenge of rapidly transitioning to new fluids that did not impact stratospheric ozone. Hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs have been chosen as the refrigerant of choice for most air conditioning and refrigeration applications,primarily because of their superior balance of properties - performance, cost, safety and environmental sustainability.
