Maxron R507A (R-507A) is an HFC refrigerant blend for medium- and low-temperature refrigeration. It has similar properties to R-502 and works well in many commercial refrigeration systems.
You can use R507A in cold rooms, freezer systems, food display cases, storage equipment, transport refrigeration, and process cooling systems. It is also suitable for selected new and existing systems when the equipment manufacturer approves its use.
R507A has an ODP of 0, which means it does not deplete the ozone layer. However, it has a high GWP of 3,985. Therefore, always check local regulations and equipment requirements before use.
Key Features
- Refrigerant: R507A / R-507A
- Type: HFC refrigerant blend
- ODP: 0
- GWP: 3,985
- For low-temperature refrigeration
- Suitable for cold rooms and freezers

Common Applications
Maxron R507A works in a range of refrigeration systems, including:
- Cold storage rooms
- Commercial freezers
- Food display cases
- Frozen food storage
- Transport refrigeration
- Process refrigeration
