Automotive refrigerant
Opteon™ YF (R-1234yf)
This refrigerant, Opteon™ YF (R-1234yf) does not harm the ozone layer and has a low global warming potential (GWP)
It was developed to respond to European environmental regulation (EU Directive on Mobile Air Conditioning Systems, MACs), which requires new vehicles to use refrigerants with a GWP of less than 150.
Now that Opteon™ YF has established itself as the automotive refrigerant standard for major automakers around the world, 95% of new vehicles sold in Korea come with it.
