Brand: Grace

The Grace F-8 L is a type of refrigerant commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Its chemical name is difluoromonochlorodifluoromethane, and its trade name is Freon. The F-8 designation was assigned by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The "L" in the F-8 L designation signifies that the refrigerant has a lower ozone depletion potential (ODP) compared to other types of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs have been phased out due to their negative impact on the environment, leading to the development of alternatives like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrocarbons. The Grace F-8 L refrigerant belongs to the HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon) category, which has both ozone-depleting properties and high global warming potential (GWP). As a result, there are ongoing efforts to phase out HCFCs, and their use is expected to decline in the coming years.
