Chemours™ Freon® 404A (HP62)

Chemours R-404A: Trusted Refrigerant for Commercial Cooling Systems



Chemours R-404A (Freon™ 404A) is a widely used hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant designed to replace R-502 and R-22 in commercial refrigeration systems. With its excellent performance in low- and medium-temperature cooling, it’s ideal for:

●       Display cases in supermarkets

●       Refrigerated transport vehicles

●       Ice makers

●       Commercial freezers and refrigerators

Key Features and Benefits

1.      Nonflammable and Low Toxicity

○       Rated with an ASHRAE A1 safety classification, ensuring safe operation.

2.      Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)

○       Environmentally safer than older refrigerants.

3.      Efficient Performance

○       Offers similar capacity and efficiency to R-502, with a lower compressor discharge temperature that can extend compressor life and improve lubricant stability.

4.      Easy Retrofitting

○       Transitioning from R-502 to R-404A is simple with compatible physical and thermodynamic properties.

Note for Retrofitting:

When replacing R-502 with R-404A, it’s essential to switch to polyolester (POE) oil as recommended by equipment manufacturers for optimal performance and system compatibility.

For a more environmentally friendly option with lower global warming potential (GWP), Chemours offers advanced refrigerants like Opteon™ XP40 (R-449A) and Opteon™ XP44 (R-452A).

Choose Chemours R-404A for reliable cooling solutions that meet Indonesia’s refrigeration needs while adhering to environmental regulations.
