FLORON REFRIGERANT GAS R-134a

Overview

Floron R-134a Refrigerant Gas is an environmentally safer HFC refrigerant designed as a direct replacement for R-12 in automotive, domestic, and commercial refrigeration applications. With Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0) and excellent thermodynamic characteristics, R-134a delivers dependable cooling efficiency, chemical stability, and long-term performance. It is suitable for a wide range of medium- and high-temperature refrigeration systems.

Key Features

• Eco-Friendly: Zero ODP and low environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.
• High Thermodynamic Efficiency: Strong cooling capacity and consistent performance.
• ASHRAE A1 Safety: Non-flammable, non-toxic, low-risk refrigerant.
• High Purity: ≥ 99.9% purity ensures moisture-free and impurity-free operation.
• Lubricant Compatibility: Works with POE oil (stationary units) and PAG oil (automotive AC).
• Excellent Chemical Stability: Ideal for long-term, reliable system performance.

Applications

• Automotive and transport air-conditioning
• Residential refrigerators and deep freezers
• Commercial display cases, chillers, and vending machines
• Medium-temperature refrigeration equipment
• Air dryers and industrial cooling units

FAQs

1. Is R-134a still widely used?
Yes. It remains common in refrigeration and older automotive AC systems, though new cars are moving to R-1234yf.

2. Is R-134a flammable?
No. It is classified A1 — non-flammable and non-toxic.

3. What oil is compatible with R-134a?
Use POE oil for stationary refrigeration and PAG oil for automotive AC systems.

4. Can R-134a replace R-12 directly?
No. A proper retrofit is required including lubricant change and system flushing.

5. Can I use R-134a in R-600a systems?
No. This is unsafe and not compatible.
