Refrigerants for Light Duty Vehicles

Low GWP Solutions for Today’s Cars and Trucks

Passenger cars, light trucks, and vehicle heat pump applications need cooling solutions that maintain optimal cabin comfort while improving the efficiency and environmental profile of mobile air conditioning (AC) applications.

In automobiles or trucks, low global warming potential (GWP) Opteon™ refrigerants deliver mobile comfort for drivers and passengers alike and comply with regional and international regulations while helping to limit the global warming potential of refrigerants.

A Sustainable Shift to HFO Refrigerants

Opteon™ hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants meet or exceed automakers’ requirements for low GWP solutions for light-duty vehicle AC systems, offering the best balance of properties and performance in a new-generation solution. With a GWP of 4 (AR4), Opteon™ YF (R-1234yf) is a significant improvement over R-134a’s GWP of 1430.
