R507 refrigerant
R507 refrigerant (sometimes called R507A) is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant used in cold rooms, commercial refrigeration systems, refrigerators, etc. It was developed to replace R22 refrigerant, which is ozone-depleting. R507 has cooling efficiency similar to R22 but has an ODP of 0 and a low GWP, therefore it does not harm the ozone layer.
Properties of R507
iGas brand R507 refrigerant is a high-quality refrigerant, a blend of R125 and R143a, with over 99.90% purity. This results in maximum cooling efficiency. The refrigerant has molecular stability even at high temperatures and does not corrode materials within air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

Industrial Applications of R507
R507 refrigerant can be used in a wide variety of refrigeration systems in industrial plants, such as:
- Cold storage systems, supermarkets, and freezers for preserving food and beverages.
- Refrigeration systems in pharmaceutical and medical equipment manufacturing facilities to maintain optimal temperature and humidity.
- Refrigeration systems in laboratories and sensitive areas to prevent contamination.
- Refrigeration systems in chemical processing to cool gases and liquids used in manufacturing processes.
Benefits of R507 Refrigerant:
- Energy Saving: R507 refrigerant has high cooling efficiency, resulting in greater energy savings.
- Environmentally Friendly: R507 refrigerant has a low GWP (Gross Pollution Power) and does not harm the ozone layer.
- Safe: R507 refrigerant is non-flammable and non-toxic, posing no health risks.
- Long Lifespan: R507 refrigerant has low acidity, meaning it does not corrode materials used in refrigeration systems, thus reducing long-term costs.
Storage and Precautions
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes as it may cause frostbite.
- Excessive inhalation may cause irregular heartbeat and unconsciousness.
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and at a temperature not exceeding 49°C. Keep away from sources of ignition.
- If R507 refrigerant leaks in an air conditioner or refrigeration system, repair should only be performed by a qualified technician.
