Freon R290: an efficient, but flammable refrigerant, also known as propane, is a natural refrigerant gas with high cooling power and low environmental impact. It is used in various refrigeration and air conditioning systems, such as refrigerators, freezers, heat pumps and air conditioners.

R290 is a flammable gas and its main hazard is linked to the risk of fire and explosion in the event of leaks. For this reason, it is important to follow safety regulations when using, installing and maintaining systems that contain it.

Why Choose R290 Gas?

  • Sustainability: With a GWP of only 3, R290 contributes to reducing the carbon footprint and supports the fight against climate change.
  • Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps with R290 offer superior performance while reducing energy costs.
  • Adaptation to Regulations: In line with the new EU regulations, R290 ensures greater product durability.

In a context of growing ecological awareness and the world’s commitment to use low GWP gases for a cleaner environment, R290 establishes itself as a first choice in the refrigerant and heat pump market.
