USA: Refrigerant manufacturer Chemours has announced a new plant dedicated to the production of the non-flammable, low GWP HFO 1336mzz(E).
The new plant located in El Dorado, Arkansas, is expected to come online before January 1.
Marketed by Chemours as Opteon 1150, HFO-1336mzz(E) is primarily used as a foam blowing agent but has also been developed as a refrigerant blend component, as well as a single component solution in low pressure chiller and high temperature heat pumps.
