R-448A Refrigerant 25 lb Cylinder — Low-GWP R-404A / R-507 Replacement
R-448A is a next-generation, low-GWP HFC/HFO blend designed to replace R-404A and R-507 in commercial refrigeration. It delivers comparable performance with significantly lower global warming potential — an environmentally responsible solution for supermarkets, cold storage, and food processing. A1: non-flammable, non-toxic.
Key Benefits
-
Ultra-low GWP (~1,273): reduces climate impact by nearly 65% vs R-404A (GWP ~3,922).
-
High efficiency, low emissions: similar cooling capacity and efficiency to R-404A with improved environmental performance.
-
Non-ozone-depleting: ODP = 0.
-
Future-ready: compliant with evolving F-Gas and AIM Act restrictions on high-GWP refrigerants.
