 What is Maxron R134a Refrigerant Gas?

Maxron R134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane) is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant gas used as a replacement for the older R12 (CFC) refrigerant. It is a non-ozone-depleting, non-flammable, and non-toxic refrigerant widely used in car air conditioning, domestic fridges, chillers, and commercial refrigeration units.

It offers stable thermal performance, excellent cooling efficiency, and is compatible with both mineral and synthetic lubricants depending on system design.
