Honeywell Partners with Juhua to Produce 1234yf in China
Production is expected to begin by the end of 2016
Honeywell has entered into a supply agreement with a Chinese manufacturer to produce Honeywell Solstice® yf (HFO-1234yf), further extending its global supply base for this low-global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant.
Under a multi-year agreement, Juhua Corp. will manufacture Solstice yf in China for Honeywell, and Honeywell will market and sell the product to customers in the United States and Europe. Production is expected to begin by the end of 2016. According to Honeywell, in addition to helping to meet worldwide demand, production in China can help support the future adoption of Solstice yf in the region. The additional production will complement capacity currently being built by Honeywell in the U.S.
