R290 - Natural Hydrocarbon Refrigerant

R290 (Propane, CAS 74-98-6) is a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ODP and a GWP of 3. It is the fastest-growing low-GWP refrigerant for domestic and light-commercial refrigeration, plug-in cases, small heat pumps, and monobloc A/C, delivering excellent thermodynamic performance with minimal environmental impact.

As a China-based refrigerant exporter with 37 years of experience, Dalian Tongtai (TCoolGas) supplies R290 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

Is R290 flammable?
Yes - R290 is ASHRAE class A3 (flammable, low toxicity). Charge limits and installation requirements are set by IEC 60335-2-40 (A/C) and IEC 60335-2-89 (commercial ref).
What purity is required for refrigerant use?
Refrigerant-grade R290 requires >=99.5% purity, low sulfur and low moisture. Standard LPG (~95%) is NOT acceptable for refrigeration compressors.
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.
