Fluorochemicals and refrigerants: Relationships

Every element and industry that Fluorochemicals and refrigerants is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

• Food and beverage processing: Food's cold chain, from supermarket chillers to refrigerated trucks, runs largely on HFC refrigerants such as R404A, while India's big cold stores mostly use ammonia; the Kigali phase-down, with India freezing HFCs in 2028, will push food cold chains towards lower-warming refrigerants as cooling demand grows.
