Product Overview
R134a refrigerant cans are small, disposable, hermetically sealed containers designed for portable and convenient use in automotive air conditioning, refrigeration servicing, and various maintenance applications. These cans are ideal for field technicians, DIY users, and small-scale refrigeration operations where portability and ease of handling are essential.
R134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane) is the most widely used HFC refrigerant for automotive air conditioning (MAC) systems, offering excellent thermodynamic properties and zero ozone depletion potential. In can form, it is typically used for topping up systems, conducting leak tests, and servicing small to medium-sized refrigeration equipment. Available in various net weights from 100g to 1,000g, these cans suit a wide range of applications.
⚠️ Important Note: R134a is an HFC refrigerant with a GWP of 1300–1430 and is subject to phasedown regulations under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. Please check local regulations before purchase, especially in regions with active F-gas reduction policies.
