R-407F
R32/R125/R134aR-407F is a zeotropic HFC refrigerant blend (R-32/R-125/R-134a at 30/30/40%) optimized for commercial refrigeration as a lower-GWP alternative to R-404A. With a GWP of 1,825—less than half of R-404A—R-407F offers meaningful environmental improvement while maintaining good performance across medium and low-temperature applications. The higher R-32 content compared to R-407A provides improved energy efficiency and capacity. Temperature glide of approximately 6°C is similar to other R-407 variants. R-407F is commonly used in supermarket refrigeration, cold storage, and food service equipment where R-404A replacement is needed but ultra-low-GWP solutions are not yet practical.
