Opteon™ XP40

Opteon™ XP40 (R-449A) refrigerant is an environmentally sustainable, ozone-depleting refrigerant that offers low global warming potential (GWP) and is an excellent replacement for R-507.

Providing high performance that meets the needs of low and medium temperature cooling

Opteon™ XP40 (R449A) has been successfully used in a wide range of commercial refrigeration applications. This refrigerant provides improved performance compared to R404A and R507 in new and existing equipment, and has become the leading refrigerant in use.

In various applications such as:

Industrial direct expansion refrigeration at low and medium temperatures (DX).
Food service (e.g., condensing units), cold storage, stand-alone systems, supermarkets, and more

Features and benefits

• It is a high-performance refrigerant for low- and medium-temperature refrigeration.
• It can be used in new equipment and can replace R-22, R-404A, R-507, and R-407A in existing equipment.
• Improved performance with the same output

GWP is 67% lower than R-404A and R-507, GWP is 33% lower than R-407A, and GWP is 30% lower than R-22.
After extensive field testing, retrofitting with Opteon™ XP40 requires no changes to equipment, lubricants, or seals.

The use of this non-flammable coolant in new and retrofitted systems offers several advantages, including:

• GWP lower than 1282, a reduction of 67% compared to R-404A/R-507
• 8% to 12% More energy efficient than R-404A/R-507
• Safe and non-flammable with ASHRAE A1 safety classification
• Approved by major equipment and component manufacturers and provides compatibility with existing equipment
