Safety Data Sheet

 

Refrigerant grade CO2 has 99.95% purity with impurities not exceeding 50vpm. Refrigeration CO2 systems require tight controls on moisture, oil and other impurities. Industrial grade CO2 does not meet this requirement


Carbon Dioxide is a traditional refrigerant which dates back to1850, R-744 is now regaining popularity due to its low environmental impact.

 

Excellent thermodynamic properties and low energy usage make it suitable for a range of applications, including

  • industrial heat extraction,
  • chilled warehousing,
  • shipping vessels,
  • commercial refrigeration
  • mobile air conditioning.

R-744 is often used as a secondary refrigerant along with ammonia, thereby opening up applications where ammonia as a single stage refrigerant would not be applicable.


  • Environmentally friendly: zero ODP, GWP = 1
  • Non-flammable, mildly toxic, asphyxiant in high concentrations and odourless
