Market Insight: In Nigeria, R-404A is the “Lifeblood of the Cold Chain.” From the fish cold rooms in Apapa to the supermarket chains in Lekki and Ikeja, R-404A is the dominant gas. Elins Nigeria emphasizes that using genuine Arkema Forane® is critical for large-scale investments; “Fake” or “Mixed” 404A is a common cause of expensive walk-in freezer compressor burnouts. Ensure your perishables stay frozen with Arkema purity.
