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.
