R23, also known as Trifluoromethane (CHF₃), is a high-pressure HFC refrigerant primarily used in ultra-low temperature refrigeration systems, such as cryogenics, medical storage, and environmental test chambers. It is a by-product of HCFC-22 production and is valued for its stable performance in extreme cooling applications. However, due to its very high Global Warming Potential (GWP ~14,800), R23 is under strict environmental regulations worldwide.

Supplied by leading manufacturers like Honeywell, Chemours, SRF, and Arkema, R23 remains critical in specialized industries where ultra-low temperature stability is required.

Key Properties of R23 Refrigerant:

• Chemical Name: Trifluoromethane (CHF₃)
• Type: HFC (Hydrofluorocarbon)
• Form: Gas
• Brands: Honeywell, Chemours, SRF, Arkema
• Appearance: Colorless
