MORRIS TOWNSHIP, Nueva Jersey, 25 de febrero de 2003 – La división Chemicals de Honeywell (NYSE:HON) ha anunciado hoy que ha iniciado la producción de HFC-125 en sus nuevas instalaciones de Geismar, Luisiana. Richard Preziotti, Vicepresidente y Director General de Honeywell Chemicals, afirma: «Nos hemos comprometido a ser el primer fabricante y proveedor de refrigerantes inocuos para la capa de ozono destinados a fabricantes de equipos y canales de servicio técnico de todo el mundo, y estas nuevas instalaciones muestran con claridad nuestro compromiso con nuestros clientes. Las recientes restricciones a la producción de R-22 impuestas este año por la Agencia de Protección del Medio Ambiente de los Estados Unidos entran dentro de la tendencia mundial a abandonar los HCFC y abrazar los refrigerantes que, como el R-410A, utilizan HFC-125. Esta expansión está perfectamente programada en el tiempo».
