The American Chemical Society (ACS) has recognized seven Honeywell scientists with the ACS’ prestigious Heroes of Chemistry Award for the development of a low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant being adopted for vehicles globally.
The refrigerant, HFO-1234yf, which Honeywell markets as Solstice® yf refrigerant, was developed for use as a replacement for the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) R-134a in mobile air conditioning systems.
