What is SSB R600A Refrigerant Gas?
SSB R600A (Refrigerant-grade Isobutane, Care® 10) is a natural, non-fluorinated hydrocarbon refrigerant offering exceptional thermodynamic performance. With zero Ozone Depletion Potential and negligible Global Warming Potential (GWP = 3), R600A reduces compressor electrical power consumption by up to 10% compared to traditional halocarbon refrigerants, meeting strict global eco-design and energy efficiency standards.
