WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. — Refrigerant company Hudson Technologies Inc. and The Chemours Co. have agreed to a licensing deal that will allow Hudson to sell reclaimed refrigerants under the names Freon R-11, Freon R-12, Freon R-123, and Freon R-22, and use the Freon brand name in its marketing materials related to these products.

“Hudson has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Chemours, and we’re very pleased to have this opportunity to use their well-respected Freon brand for the marketing of certain legacy reclaimed refrigerant products in addition to our Emerald Refrigerants brand of HFC refrigerants,” said Brian F. Coleman, president and CEO of Hudson. “As our industry navigates the phase-down and phase-out of refrigerants, it is important that our customers are aware of the availability of high-quality reclaimed options. Freon is a recognized and respected brand that we believe will bring heightened visibility to our reclaimed products and promote the use of our sustainable refrigerant solutions.”

“Chemours and Hudson have been pioneers in developing sustainable refrigerant products and practices,” said Doug Westerhoff, sales director for the Americas at Chemours. “We’re proud to partner with Hudson to deliver reclaimed Freon refrigerants to the market.”
