R1234YF (HFO-1234YF, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene) is a single-component refrigerant widely used in modern automotive air conditioning and mobile A/C systems as a lower-GWP replacement for R-134a. With a GWP of 4, zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0), and an ASHRAE A2L classification, R1234YF offers a strong balance of environmental performance, energy efficiency, and reliable cooling for new-generation vehicle climate control systems.
Thanks to its single-component HFO composition, R1234YF is a practical choice for professional servicing, recovery, and recharging in compatible automotive A/C systems. It is primarily used in passenger cars, light-duty vehicles, and new-generation MVAC applications, where it helps reduce environmental impact compared with older refrigerants while maintaining comparable performance to R-134a.
We cooperate with various courier services and logistics companies, ensuring delivery throughout Europe. You can order both small quantities and large volumes, which we deliver via logistics companies, assembled on pallets or in tanks.
Additional shipping charges may apply if delivery to your location requires sea transport.

R1234yf (HFO-1234yf, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene / C₃H₂F₄) is a single-component refrigerant used primarily in modern automotive air conditioning and mobile A/C systems. It has a GWP of 4, zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0), and an ASHRAE safety classification of A2L, which means low toxicity and mild flammability.
Yes. R1234yf is used in Europe and is widely adopted in modern vehicle air conditioning systems as a low-GWP alternative to R-134a. Under EU Regulation 2024/573 (F-Gas), it is subject to rules on fluorinated greenhouse gases, including handling, use, recovery, and lifecycle controls.
No. R1234yf is mainly used in systems specifically designed for it. Although it is widely used as a replacement for R-134a in modern automotive air conditioning, compatibility always depends on the vehicle manufacturer’s design and specifications. It should only be used in systems approved for R1234yf.
No, this must be done by a specialist! The system must be checked to avoid leaks. Small recharge kits may be used personally for refilling car air conditioners.
The exact refrigerant charge depends on the vehicle manufacturer, model, and system specification. Always check the correct amount on the under-hood label, in the service manual, or in the manufacturer’s technical documentation. R1234yf should be charged by exact weight according to the vehicle specification.
For automotive air conditioning applications, R1234yf systems typically use PAG oil. For other applications, POE oil may be used. The correct lubricant and viscosity grade must always match the manufacturer’s specification for the vehicle or system.
Because R1234yf is a single-component refrigerant, servicing and recharging are generally more straightforward than with many blended refrigerants. If the refrigerant loss is minor and the system condition is good, topping up may be possible. If the system has suffered a major leak, has been empty, or may contain moisture or air contamination, leak repair, evacuation, and a full recharge to the exact specified weight are recommended.

R1234yf cylinders should be stored upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, ignition sources, hot surfaces, and incompatible materials. Cylinders should be kept tightly closed and secured against falling. Because R1234yf is classified as ASHRAE A2L, it should be handled and stored in accordance with the applicable safety guidance and product documentation.
