JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chemours Company ("Chemours") (NYSE: CC), a global chemistry company with leading market positions in Titanium Technologies, Thermal & Specialized Solutions, and Advanced Performance Materials, announces its anti-counterfeit campaign to promote genuine refrigerants in Indonesia. As the owner of Freon™ and Opteon™ trademarks in various countries, Chemours actively protects its intellectual property by policing and monitoring the use of its trademarks, patent protections, and anti-counterfeit efforts.
Counterfeit refrigerant use can lead to below-standard system performance, equipment damage, and safety concerns.
"Safety obsession is one of our core values and counterfeit refrigerants represent a significant risk to distributors, contractors, and end-users," said Reza Hardian Dharmayanda, Chemours Indonesia Country Leader. "Distributors risk taking on unknown liabilities; contractors risk callbacks and time troubleshooting system failures; and end-users risk higher energy usage, poor system performance, shortened equipment life, or worse. We want to educate our customers and distributors on not only the risks, but how to ensure they're purchasing and using genuine refrigerants. This campaign is one important step in that process."
Chemours is a market leader in producing refrigerants, with deep knowledge dating back to the commercial introduction of Freon™ refrigerants in 1930. As a trusted brand for over 90 years, Freon™ refrigerants have been used world widely from automotive, residential, and commercial air conditioning to heat pumps and refrigeration systems.
Because of their superior performance, reliability, quality, value, and excellent reputation, premium Freon™ refrigerants can be subject to imitation and counterfeiting. Knowingly or unknowingly using poor quality, imitation, or counterfeit products can lead to below-standard system performance, equipment damage, and safety concerns. In order to ensure customer safety, Chemours will launch roadshows across Indonesia to educate the market and distributors how to distinguish genuine Freon™ refrigerants and safeguard against counterfeit products.
Chemours has secured their rights for their products in Indonesia, including but not limited to FREON. Chemours has the sole rights to authorize other parties to distribute the products. Learn about Chemours' refrigerant brand assurance program.
