BHCR Hq is the engineering and supply company that develops natural hydrocarbon refrigerants — and Eco Kold, the brand that takes them to market. We build the blends; Eco Kold puts them in the field.
The refrigerants cooling the world are being regulated out — and the replacement shouldn't mean replacing the equipment.
Since 2010, BHCR Hq has worked on one problem: engineering hydrocarbon-refrigerant blends that drop into the systems already running in the field, at a Global Warming Potential of less than 1 (<1) — orders of magnitude under the lines regulators are drawing.
Synthetic refrigerants carry global-warming potentials in the thousands and are being phased down worldwide. The natural alternative existed; what was missing was a line of blends matched precisely to the legacy gases they replace, documented for real installers, and supplied at scale. That's what we build.
The engineering and supply sit with BHCR. The market-facing brand is Eco Kold. One company, one platform, one job: make the cleanest path also the cheapest one.
BHCR owns the work from formulation to the cylinder on the truck — and the brand that gets it specified.
Formulating hydrocarbon blends and matching each one to a legacy gas — charge math, pressure-temperature behavior, oil compatibility, and safe-handling spec. Five blends, covering the major legacy refrigerants.
Producing and cylinder-filling to spec out of our Panama operations — export-ready, lot-tracked, and built to land consistent product in any of the markets we serve.
Eco Kold is how the platform reaches buyers — a localized brand site in 10 languages, field-documented case studies, full datasheets, and quoting for installers and facilities.
A distributor and authorized-importer network moving product across the Americas, Europe, and Asia — structured to add markets as approvals land.
Corporate and engineering in the United States; manufacturing and supply in Panama — positioned for export across the hemisphere.
Headquartered in Delaware. Company headquarters and the engineering side of the blend platform.
Manufactured in Panama. Production, cylinder-fill, and the export hub for the Americas.
