Opteon™ XL10 (R-1234yf) Refrigerant
A High-Performing Alternative to R-134a
Opteon™ XL10 (R-1234yf) refrigerant is a non-ozone depleting (ODP) hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) option that meets the industry's growing demands for sustainable, safe, and effective solutions. This A2L refrigerant is designed as a replacement for R-134a, and can be used without major modifications in new equipment, including:
Medium-temperature commercial and industrial refrigeration systems
Water chillers, air conditioning, and heat pumps
Features and Benefits
Opteon™ XL10 offers a close performance match to R-134a in terms of capacity and efficiency. It has zero ODP and a GWP of less than one (99% reduction vs. R-134a) to meet global regulatory requirements.
Opteon™ XL10 offers:
Lower flammability than other refrigerants, with an ASHRAE A2L (mildly flammable) safety classification
Easy conversion from R-134a design with minimal changes
A single component, no temperature glide
Miscibility and stability with polyolester (POE) lubricants
The ability to use in higher charge sizes than highly flammable refrigerants such as propane (R-290) or isobutane (R-600)
