HC-12a, also called ES-12a, OZ-12a, DURACOOL 12a [1] and Hydrocarbon Blend B, is marketed as a "drop-in" replacement refrigerant for R-12 and other refrigerants. HC-12a is a mixture of hydrocarbons , specifically propane (R-290) and isobutane (R-600a), and is therefore considered nearly non-ozone-depleting.
Chemical compatibility is a rough measure of how stable a substance is when mixed with another substance. [1] If two substances can mix together and not undergo a chemical reaction, they are considered compatible. Incompatible chemicals react with each other, and can cause corrosion, mechanical weakening, evolution of gas, fire, or other ...

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (also known as norflurane (), R-134a, Klea 134a, Freon 134a, Forane 134a, Genetron 134a, Green Gas, Florasol 134a, Suva 134a, HFA-134a, or HFC-134a) is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and haloalkane refrigerant with thermodynamic properties similar to R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) but with insignificant ozone depletion potential and a lower 100-year global warming ...
Mineral oil used with R-12 is not compatible with R-134a. Some oils designed for conversion to R-134a are advertised as compatible with residual R-12 mineral oil. Illegal replacements for R-12 include highly flammable hydrocarbon blends such as HC-12a, the flammability of which has caused injuries and deaths. [10] [11]
Physical Properties HFC-134a Boiling Point at 1 atm −15.34 °F (−26.30 °C) Freezing Point −153.9 °F (−103.3 °C) Critical Temperature
It is an isomer of the more-used 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). It is used as a foam expansion agent and heat transfer fluid. [3] References
It is a zeotropic blend of difluoromethane (R-32), pentafluoroethane (R-125), and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). Difluoromethane serves to provide the heat capacity, pentafluoroethane decreases flammability, tetrafluoroethane reduces pressure. [1] R-407C cylinders are colored burnt orange.
