Optfor better

Opteon™ and the NHL® are partnering to keep the game of ice hockey thriving for future generations by identifying sustainable refrigerant solutions for community rinks across North America.

Refrigerants

Chemours is proud to partner with the NHL® and committed to assisting with your needs—optimizing your rink performance with the right refrigerant. Legacy ice refrigeration system refrigerants, such as R-22, R-404A, and R-507, are either being phased out or down in the coming years. Industrial gases, such as CO2 and ammonia, typically require new capital for facility upgrades and equipment and are often accompanied by increased maintenance costs.

Chemours and the Opteon™ family of low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants help provide for more sustainable, cost-effective business solutions to ensure hockey thrives at all levels.
