Opteon refrigerants + legacy Vertrel/dielectric fluids stepping into 3M's exit lane.
What they do
DuPont spinout. Opteon refrigerants compete head-to-head with Honeywell Solstice . Legacy Vertrel and dielectric fluids are positioned to absorb 3M Novec demand. 2026 EBITDA guide $800–900M. Risk: PFAS liability tail (Chemours is on the hook for some of the historical Forever-Chemicals lawsuits). Higher beta than Honeywell.
