R-290 is refrigerant-grade propane (C3H8), a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with a GWP of 3 and zero ODP. It is classified A3 (highly flammable) and must be handled only by trained and certified personnel using approved equipment.
R-290 is used in commercial air-conditioning and refrigeration systems approved for HC refrigerants, domestic air conditioners, and industrial refrigeration processes. It is also considered as a low-GWP alternative to certain HFC refrigerants such as R-404A and selected R-407 series, subject to system approval.
Yes. R-290 is refrigerant-grade propane. The key difference between R-290 and commercial propane is the purity level — our R-290 meets AHRI 700 purity standards (≥99.9%), which is essential for safe and reliable refrigeration use.
R-290 has a GWP of 3 (100-year) and an ODP of 0. It is one of the most environmentally benign refrigerants available, making it increasingly specified in low-GWP refrigeration equipment.
No. R-290 cannot be used as a direct drop-in replacement for HFC refrigerants. It must only be used in systems specifically designed and approved for HC refrigerants. Application suitability and system compatibility must be verified before use.

R-290 (Propane, C3H8) is a refrigerant-grade hydrocarbon designed for new refrigeration and air-conditioning systems approved for HC refrigerants. It is a single-component natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 3 and zero ozone depletion potential — making it one of the most environmentally responsible refrigerant options available today. R-290 delivers excellent thermodynamic performance and high energy efficiency, which is why it is increasingly specified in commercial refrigeration equipment, domestic air conditioners, and industrial cooling systems designed for low-GWP operation.
R-290 may also be used as a low-GWP alternative to certain fluorocarbon refrigerants such as R-404A and selected R-407 series refrigerants, subject to system design and regulatory approval. As India aligns with the Kigali Amendment’s phasedown of high-GWP HFCs, demand for natural refrigerants like R-290 is growing across the commercial cooling sector. Our R-290 is AHRI 700 certified and QR-verified at every cylinder, giving buyers full confidence in the purity and traceability of the product.
R-290 is classified A3 — highly flammable — and must be handled only by trained and certified personnel. At our Hisar and Sri City facilities, all A3 refrigerant operations follow strict safety protocols: dedicated handling zones with continuous ventilation, elimination of ignition sources, approved tools and equipment, and compliance with local gas regulations for storage, transport, and disposal.
Storage and cylinder handling
Cylinders are stored upright in well-ventilated, flame-proof areas away from heat sources and open flames. Valves are kept capped when not in use. All storage complies with applicable gas regulations for hydrocarbon refrigerants.
Charging and servicing
R-290 may be charged in either liquid or vapour phase. Charging, recovery, and servicing require special procedures and approved equipment. Compressor oil compatibility, system charge limits, and component suitability must be verified with the equipment manufacturer before use.
Approved for specific systems only
R-290 must only be used in equipment specifically designed and approved for HC refrigerants. Application suitability, system compatibility, and compliance with applicable safety codes must be verified prior to use.
Customer responsibility
All work with R-290 must comply with equipment guidelines, safety standards, and local gas regulations for storage, transport, and disposal. We recommend consulting the SDS and equipment OEM documentation before installation or servicing.
Commercial Air-Conditioning and Commercial Refrigeration
R-290 is specified in commercial AC units and commercial refrigeration equipment designed for HC refrigerants, including display cabinets, vending machines, plug-in coolers, and bottle coolers. Its high energy efficiency and near-zero environmental impact make it the preferred choice for brands and retailers targeting low-GWP cooling solutions.
Domestic Air-Conditioning
Used in residential split AC systems approved for natural refrigerants. R-290’s thermodynamic properties deliver strong cooling performance with lower energy consumption compared to many HFC alternatives, making it increasingly attractive for energy-rated domestic AC products.
Industrial Refrigeration and Industrial Air-Conditioning
Specified in industrial refrigeration systems and process cooling applications where system design permits the use of A3 refrigerants. R-290’s excellent thermodynamic efficiency suits a wide range of chilling and low-temperature industrial processes.
Low-GWP Alternative to HFC Refrigerants
R-290 is used as a low-GWP alternative to certain fluorocarbon refrigerants including R-404A and selected R-407 series refrigerants, subject to system design approval and regulatory compliance. As India phases down high-GWP HFCs under the Kigali Amendment, R-290 is increasingly considered in new system designs across commercial and industrial applications.
