R23 - Cascade Ultra-Low Temperature Refrigerant

R23 (Trifluoromethane, CAS 75-46-7) is a single-component HFC with zero ODP and a GWP of 12,400. Its extremely low boiling point (−82.1 °C) makes it the standard low-stage fluid in cascade refrigeration systems reaching −60 to −100 °C for laboratory, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and environmental-test chambers.

As a China-based refrigerant exporter with 37 years of experience, Dalian Tongtai (TCoolGas) supplies R23 to 50+ countries with full SDS / TDS / COA per batch. We support mixed-SKU container consolidation and provide third-party re-test reports within 24 hours on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the R23 cylinder pressure so high?
R23 has a critical temperature of only 26.1 °C - at ambient temperature the cylinder is often near or above the critical point. Cylinders are rated for elevated pressures; keep them cool and vertical.
Can R508B replace R23?
R508B is a common lower-pressure azeotropic alternative for cascade LT applications. It provides similar temperatures with lower operating pressures.
What is the minimum order quantity?
No minimum order quantity. We accept orders of any size. Mixed SKUs in one container are welcome - most clients ship 2-5 SKUs per consolidation.
Which countries do you export to?
50+ countries including USA, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Egypt, Italy, Germany, UK, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Australia, and more.
