Forane R-407C Refrigerant Gas is a zero ODP zeotropic HFC blend which closely matches the properties of R-22. It can be used in many A/C and refrigeration applications in new or retrofitted R-22 installations. Polyolester lubricants should be used with R-407C due to immiscibility with mineral oil or alkylbenzene.
