25LB R449A R-449A Freon Refrigerant Gas

R-449A is an advanced refrigerant blend designed to replace R-404A and R-507 in commercial refrigeration systems. Offering significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) while maintaining reliable performance, R-449A has become the preferred choice for supermarkets, cold storage, and food processing facilities worldwide. As environmental regulations phase down high-GWP refrigerants, R-449A delivers a sustainable and future-proof solution for refrigeration applications.

Key Features and Benefits

✅ Lower GWP Solution
With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1,397, R-449A reduces climate impact by nearly 65% compared to R-404A (GWP ~3,922), helping meet F-Gas, SNAP, and international sustainability standards.

✅ Reliable Refrigeration Performance
Provides excellent cooling capacity and efficiency comparable to R-404A and R-507, making it suitable for a wide range of refrigeration systems without compromising performance.

✅ Non-Ozone Depleting
ODP of 0 ensures no harm to the ozone layer, aligning with global environmental goals.

✅ Safety Classification
ASHRAE classified as A1 – non-flammable and non-toxic – for safe use in properly designed and maintained systems.

✅ Drop-In Replacement
Compatible with existing R-404A and R-507 equipment with minimal system modifications, simplifying the transition to a lower-GWP solution.
