Frogen® R-22 Refrigerant Gas | High-Pressure HCFC for Air Conditioning & Industrial Applications

Frogen® R-22 (Chlorodifluoromethane | CHClF₂) is a high-pressure HCFC refrigerant widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial cooling systems. It offers effective performance with low compressor displacement and is also used in the production of fluoropolymers and as a blowing agent in rigid foam insulation manufacturing.

Main Applications:

• Room air conditioners (HVAC systems)

• Commercial and industrial refrigeration units

• Blowing agent in rigid polyurethane foam

• Intermediate in fluoropolymer production
