Forane® R-516A
Forane® R-516A is a very-low GWP (<150), azeotropic (zero glide), A2L (mildly flammable) refrigerant blend. R-516A's properties very closely match R-134a. Forane® 516A has good compatibility with existing system components for R-134a or R-1234yf. Forane® 516A is a design compatible replacement for R-134a in new systems including medium temperature refrigeration,
chillers, heat pumps, and air-conditioners.
