Honeywell has unveiled an application to combat counterfeit refrigerants in the Middle East region
The new app, named after Honeywell?s Genetron brand of refrigerants, provides proof of authenticity to customers across the region and directs access to important resources for end-users.
Genetron branded products have been a target for counterfeiters in the Middle East region. Fake refrigerants can cause a variety of issues, ranging from increased energy use and decreased cooling performance, to significantly reducing the operating life of systems and causing injury and equipment failures. They can damage air conditioning and contain dangerous chemicals. According to research as little as 2 per cent of the wrong chemicals present in a refrigerant mix can cause costly system failure.
The app will provide customers with direct and quick access to Honeywell consultants and technicians, and enable users to learn about other new relevant solutions and technologies.
?The launch of the Genetron app highlights Honeywell?s commitment to using the latest technologies to create safer communities and industries,? said Amir Naqvi, regional business leader, Middle East, Turkey, and Africa, Honeywell Fluorine Products.
The Genetron app is free to use for customers and can be downloaded from iOS and Android app stores.
