Forane 125 production plant comes on stream on Changshu platform, China
HFC-125, with HFC-32, is an essential component in new-generation refrigerant blends such as R-410A which replaces HCFC-22.
“The startup of the Changshu Forane® 125 plant falls in line with our strategy to serve our customers in Asia, a growth region in which China is a major player in the manufacture of air-conditioning equipment. Following the launch of Forane® 32 in the United States in 2007, this latest development confirms Arkema’s commitment to investing in the production of new-generation components poised to replace HCFCs ”, comments Pierre Chanoine, Group President of Fluorochemicals business unit and Executive Vice President in charge of Arkema’s Performance Products segment.
