From homes to industry, travel to entertainment, food to communication, and smart cities to hospitals—chemistry touches every part of our world. Chemours encourages the creative thinking that enables innovation and responsible growth through the power of chemistry.
The Big Chill
Once a way to preserve food, salting and fermenting are now reserved for delicacies thanks to low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants like Opteon™, the modern way to keep food safe, delicious, and nutritious.
"A whole cold chain runs from the fishing trawlers that harvest the catch to the cook who puts the fillet in the skillet. And all of it depends on refrigeration," says Chuck Allgood, Refrigerants Technology Leader. Learn more about how Opteon™ low GWP refrigerants add variety to our dining experiences and help make them more enjoyable.
Vacationing and Travel
When it comes to vacations, the good old days are right now. And, in no small part, that's thanks to chemistry, which helps make our trips safer and more energy efficient.
"Just about every part of vacationing is better now—and it's all because of chemistry," says Randal Perry, Technical Fellow. Learn more about how Nafion™ membranes help make vacations more fun.
Protecting the Environment and Bottom Line
Opteon™ low GWP stationary refrigerants aren't just environmentally sustainable—they're a cost-effective, long-term solution.
"Ice plants running on Opteon™ low GWP refrigerants can produce ice surfaces that meet the exacting standards of professional hickey—without depleting the ozone layer," says Stefanie Kopchick, Global Marketing Manager.
