Results for tag: "Hexafluoropropylene"

Hexafluoropropylene (HFP) is a fluorinated hydrocarbon used as a refrigerant in a variety of applications. It is a non-ozone depleting, non-flammable, and non-toxic gas with a low global warming potential. HFP is used in a variety of refrigeration systems, including commercial and industrial air conditioning, chillers, and heat pumps. It is also used in automotive air conditioning systems, as well as in the production of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). HFP is a cost-effective alternative to other refrigerants, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It has a higher efficiency than HFCs, and is more thermally stable, making it a better choice for applications that require a higher temperature range. Additionally, HFP is more environmentally friendly than HFCs, as it has a lower global warming potential. The HFP market is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for refrigerants in the automotive and industrial sectors. The growing demand for energy-efficient refrigerants is also expected to drive the market. Some of the major companies in the HFP market include Honeywell International, Daikin Industries, Arkema, Solvay, and 3M. Show Less Read more
