Opteon™ XP40 (R-449A) is a non-ozone depleting, low global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) based refrigerant replacement for R-404A/R-507, R-407A/F, and R-22 for new equipment and retrofit of existing systems. Opteon™ XP40 has a GWP of 1282, which is a 67% reduction, and provides energy consumption 8-12% lower than R-404A/R-507. Compared to R-407A, Opteon™ XP40 offers improved performance, similar capacity and 33% lower GWP.

Opteon™ XP40 (R-449A) refrigerant is an environmentally sustainable, non-ozone depleting refrigerant offering a low global warming potential (GWP) and a superior R-507 replacement.

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