Business Wire
Investment represents company’s commitment to
advancing global climate and air-quality targets with sustainable,
low-VOC solutions for the propellant and foam markets
The Chemours Company (“Chemours”) (NYSE: CC), a global chemistry
company with leading market positions in Titanium Technologies,
Thermal & Specialized Solutions, and Advanced Performance
Materials, today announced it is expanding production of Chemours
HFC-152a by approximately 20 percent. In addition to helping meet
customer demands for lower global warming potential (GWP)
propellants and foam blowing agents, the expansion will enable
reduced VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in consumer products and
support the growing demand in thermal insulation foam products. The
capacity expansion will occur at the company’s manufacturing
facility in Ingleside, Texas—located 20 minutes outside of Corpus
Christi—completion expected by mid 2024.
HFC-152a is a versatile, low GWP, non-VOC, aerosol propellant
and foam blowing agent used in a wide range of personal care,
household, industrial, and construction applications. As the sole
U.S. domestic supplier of HFC-152a, the capacity increase provides
long-term confidence to customers in an evolving regulatory
landscape, as well as enabling the availability of multiple
products ranging from adhesives and lubricant oils to hair care and
body spray products to thermal insulating foams. Chemours HFC-152a
is sold in the foam blowing agent market as Formacel™ Z-2 and in
the aerosol propellant market as HP 152a.
“As regulations drive the continued phasedown of high GWP
propellants, HFC-152a will continue to be a critical tool for
aerosol formulators and insulating foam producers, offering the
consistent, reliable, high-performance their customers demand,”
said Joseph Martinko, President of Thermal & Specialized
Solutions at Chemours. “Chemours is dedicated to helping customers
across industries meet evolving regulatory requirements with
solutions that minimize environmental impact without compromising
performance. This investment is simply the latest example of that
commitment. We will continue to invest in HFC-152a and other low
GWP solutions to meet the needs of our customers and downstream
users with minimal impact on our shared planet.”
Chemours is the only domestic producer of HFC-152a and continues
to support customers by meeting the growing market demand for
sustainable solutions to the aerosol propellant and foam
markets.
