The Chemours Company (Chemours) (NYSE:CC), a global leader in delivering innovative performance chemistry, today announced the development of a low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant retrofit approach for the automotive aftermarket to support the global phasedown of higher GWP hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants. The technical approach developed will provide vehicle owners—and their service technicians—with a simple retrofit procedure to safely and cost effectively replace the legacy R-134a refrigerant in their existing vehicle with the widely-used, low GWP Opteon YF (R-1234yf) refrigerant. Opteon YF was developed to replace R-134a in new mobile HVAC systems.
