Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a class of synthetic chemicals used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications. They are primarily used as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and solvents. HFCs are also used in fire suppression systems, air conditioning systems, and foam blowing agents. HFCs are non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-ozone depleting. HFCs are a rapidly growing market due to their low environmental impact and their ability to replace ozone-depleting substances. The demand for HFCs is expected to continue to increase as more countries adopt regulations to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Some companies in the HFC market include Honeywell International, Chemours, Daikin Industries, Arkema, and Mexichem. Show Less Read more
