What is Maxron R-600a Refrigerant Gas?
Maxron R-600a (Isobutane) is a hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerant used as a natural replacement for R-12 and R-134a in modern domestic and light commercial refrigeration systems. It is environmentally friendly, non-ozone-depleting, and has excellent thermodynamic properties that make it one of the most energy-efficient refrigerants available.
Unlike synthetic refrigerants (HFCs), R-600a has a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP ≈ 3) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0), making it an eco-friendly refrigerant choice widely adopted by major refrigerator manufacturers worldwide.
