The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Arkema, Inc., to develop a new approach to reducing the overall flammability profile of Class 2L refrigerants by using additives to make them more difficult to ignite as well as lowering their burning velocity in order to reduce the probability and severity of an ignition event.  Project work would occur at Arkema’s R&D headquarters in King of Prussia, PA, and TRANE laboratories in La Crosse, WI.
