Through a commercial agreement with Honeywell International Inc., this portfolio expansion will enhance global supply chains, meet the growing demand for HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) blends in the HVACR sector and support the ongoing phasedown of HFCs (hydrofluorocarbon).Arkema is expanding its range of next-generation refrigerants by offering HFO blends under its Forane brand, which is widely recognized and already adopted by leading equipment manufacturers. These advanced refrigerants not only comply with HVACR industry regulations but also enhance energy efficiency for both residential and commercial applications. Among the offerings is Forane 454B, featuring a low GWP of 466 and performance characteristics similar to R-410A, making it a preferred choice for comfort cooling systems and already specified by several OEMs. Forane 448A and Forane 449A are ideal for low to medium temperature refrigeration in settings such as supermarkets, walk-in coolers and freezers, cold storage rooms and centralized rack systems. For transport refrigeration needs, Forane 452A offers a reliable alternative to R-404A. Lastly, Forane 513A delivers more than a 50% reduction in GWP compared to R-134A, making it suitable for a range of applications, including centrifugal chillers, air conditioning, heat pumps and medium temperature refrigeration. Through this expanded portfolio, Arkema supports the transition to more sustainable refrigeration delivers innovative technological solutions to address key global challenges such as new energies, water access, recycling, urbanization and sustainable mobility, while maintaining ongoing engagement with its stakeholders. In 2024, the Group reported approximately €9.5 billion in of Arkema have lost 25.1% over the past year compared with a 26.8% decline of its industry.
