Editor: We missed this release earlier in March
Morris Twonship, NJ — March 3, 2008 — Honeywell (NYSE: HON) Fluorine Products announced today a price increase for HFC-134a refrigerant impacting automotive customers in North America, effective with shipments on March 7, 2008 or as contracts allow.

HFC-134a prices in North America will increase on average by 9 percent for bulk and packaged products.

Fluorocarbon producers in the U.S., Europe and China have been impacted by a sudden and dramatic cost increase for sulfur and sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is a key raw material used to produce hydrofluoric acid (HF), which is a key raw material used in the manufacture of HFC-134a.

Global sulfuric acid prices have risen by more than 500 percent in recent months due, in part, to a strong increase in demand for agricultural fertilizer worldwide. According to industry experts, the tightness in global sulfur markets is expected to continue into 2009.
