Star Refrigeration holds the patents on R-422D, an environmentally friendly refrigerant with the ozone layer that is used for the conversion and maintenance of equipment of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning in buildings. DuPont is the only licensee of Star Refrigeration for these patents and sells R-422D as DuPont Isceon MO29.

These refrigerants have come to be preferred in Europe, since they allow owners to continue to operate its facilities designed for the refrigerant HCFC-22 in spite of the prohibition of using Virgin HCFC-22 in the European Union.
