Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC) products and services provider, Hudson Technologies, based in Woodcliff Lake, has signed a licensing agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials for the reclamation and resale of R-448A and R-449A refrigerants.
These patented HFO commercial real estate refrigerants are among the leading alternatives, in accordance with the AIM Act, for replacing higher-GWP HFC refrigerants with lower-GWP HFO refrigerants in the supermarket segment.
The terms of the licensing agreement allow Hudson Technologies to reclaim and resell R-448A and R-449A in the US and Canada.
Legacy refrigerants such as R-404A and R-507 are becoming increasingly constrained by the ongoing national phase-down of HFCs and by state and local regulations mandating the use of reclaimed or lower-GWP materials, according to Ken Gaglione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies, in a release.
Two of the most popular lower-GWP choices have been R-448A and R-449A, creating a large new opportunity for aftermarket service gas demand.
Hudson Technologies is a leading provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the HVAC industry.
In December, Hudson Technologies, Inc. acquired Refrigerants Inc., an EPA-certified reclaimer and distributor headquartered in Denver.
In March, the company announced a restructuring of its senior management team, with Rob Stoody’s promotion to senior vice president, operations, where he will oversee plant operations, logistics, and the company’s broader supply chain. Stoody previously served as VP of Supply Chain.
