Why Solstice® yf, why now?
Vehicle owners and service providers are increasingly looking for practical options to service R-134a air conditioning systems as the global phase down continues and supplies become increasingly constrained.
Solstice® yf (R-1234yf) offers a retrofit pathway for existing vehicles.
Right now, R-1234yf is widely used in new vehicle air conditioning systems adopted by automotive manufacturers around the world. It has undergone extensive testing and validation by automotive manufacturers and Solstice® yf is supported by a well-established service ecosystem that includes:
- Current refrigerant recovery, recycling, and recharge (RRR) equipment
- Available technician training programs
- An extensive service infrastructure supporting adoption
For operators of existing R-134a vehicles, retrofit approaches based on Solstice® yf support continued system operation.
Join us in Hall 12, Booth #E61 to discover why Solstice® yf is the practical option for maintaining air conditioning performance.
