The Sustainable, Non-Flammable Standard for Commercial Refrigeration
R-449A (Opteon™ XP40) is a next-generation HFC/HFO blend engineered to replace R-404A and R-507 in medium- and low-temperature commercial refrigeration. Our product is 100% Virgin Refrigerant, offering a perfect balance of environmental sustainability, high energy efficiency, and operational safety for modern cold chain infrastructure.
Why Choose Our Premium R-449A?
• Optimized Thermal Efficiency: Proven to deliver up to 8% to 12% better energy efficiency than legacy R-404A systems, significantly reducing utility costs for large-scale refrigeration facilities.
• Superior Safety Profile: Classified as ASHRAE A1—non-toxic and non-flammable—providing a safe, high-performance alternative to flammable A2L or toxic CO₂ (R-744) systems.
• "Near Drop-In" Compatibility: Fully compatible with standard Polyolester (POE) lubricants. In many cases, R-449A can be used with existing R-404A equipment with minimal component changes, simplifying the retrofit process.
• Exceptional Low-Temp Performance: Specifically designed to maintain high mass flow and cooling capacity at low evaporating temperatures, protecting your perishables even in extreme conditions.
Key Specifications
• Net Weight: 25 lbs (Total shipping weight approx. 32 lbs).
• Purity Level: 99.9% Virgin Grade – Fully meets AHRI-700 standards.
• Application: Ideal for supermarket rack systems, walk-in coolers/freezers, reach-in cases, and industrial process cooling.
• Temperature Glide: ~4°C (7.2°F); lower glide compared to R-448A, facilitating easier system adjustment.
Regulatory & Compliance
• SNAP-Approved: Fully approved by the EPA as a retrofit and new-equipment replacement for R-404A and R-507.
• Aggressive GWP Reduction: With a GWP of ~1282 (AR5), R-449A provides a 67% reduction compared to R-404A, ensuring long-term compliance with the U.S. AIM Act and other global HFC phase-down mandates.
• Environmental Profile: Zero Ozone-Depletion Potential (ODP).
