Iceron R-600a Refrigerant Gas – Product Description

Iceron R-600a is a high-purity hydrocarbon refrigerant (Isobutane) engineered for use in modern domestic and light commercial refrigeration systems. With a purity of ≥99.5% and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), it provides excellent cooling performance while being environmentally responsible.

Packaged in a strong 6.5 kg high-strength steel cylinder, Iceron R-600a delivers reliable performance, low energy consumption, and quiet operation. It is suitable for refrigerators, freezers, beverage coolers, and other small-scale refrigeration applications. As an A3 flammable refrigerant, it must be handled by trained professionals only.
