Du Pont Unveils Ozone-Saving Refrigerants: The Wilmington, Del., chemical maker said the new line is designed to replace chlorofluorocarbons, cooling gases linked to depletion of the ozone layer and the so-called greenhouse effect.

Du Pont said it also is developing ozone-saving replacements for refrigerants in existing cooling systems.
