Maxron R290 Refrigerant Gas in Kenya

Maxron R-290 refrigerant gas is a high-purity propane (HC refrigerant) widely used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems across Kenya and East Africa. It has grown in popularity due to its excellent thermodynamic properties, low environmental impact, and energy efficiency. Unlike synthetic refrigerants, R-290 is a natural hydrocarbon that delivers outstanding performance with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and an ultra-low global warming potential (GWP ≈ 3). At Kingsman Engineering & Industrial Insulation Ltd, we are the leading suppliers and importers of Maxron R290 refrigerant gas in Kenya. We provide genuine Maxron cylinders, competitive prices, and reliable delivery across Nairobi and East Africa, serving both small-scale users and large industries.
