ORAFON R-152a is non ozone depleting HFC and Low Global Warming Potential. It’s most commonly used as component within other refrigerant blend, as a propellant and some XPS foams. However its flammability creates challenges thus limiting use.
ORAFON R-152a can be done either as a vapor or a liquid for charging. They compatible only with Polyolester (POE). POE oils absorb moisture quickly when left exposed to the atmosphere. Handle them carefully and avoid prolonged exposure to air.
