R142

R142 is a type of refrigerant used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, especially in large commercial and industrial applications. It belongs to the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) family, characterized by being environmentally friendlier than older refrigerants because it has no ozone-depleting effects. R142 is valued for its efficiency and stability, making it suitable for maintaining consistent cooling performance. However, it’s important to handle it with proper safety measures and adhere to environmental regulations, as HFCs can contribute to global warming if released into the atmosphere.
