R407F
Total 10 kg
HFC blend refrigerant
R407F is a non-flammable A1 HFC blend used to retrofit existing R404A and R507 commercial refrigeration. We list it in a 10 kg returnable cylinder for certified technicians. It is currently out of stock, so see the alternatives below or ask us about availability.

R407F (also written R-407F) is a zeotropic HFC blend of R32, R125 and R134a in a 30/30/40 mass ratio. It carries safety class A1 and an AR4 GWP of 1825. Contractors in Ireland, the Benelux, the Nordics and the Baltics know it mainly from supermarket racks, display cabinets, cold rooms and medium- and low-temperature condensing units that were first charged with R404A or R507.
It was developed as a retrofit gas, not a drop-in. Before a conversion, check compressor discharge temperature, expansion valve capacity and superheat, pressure controls and the POE oil. The blend has a marked temperature glide, so it must leave the cylinder as liquid and be weighed in on a calibrated scale.
Since 1 January 2025, Article 13 has banned the use of virgin gas with a GWP of 2,500 or more for servicing refrigeration equipment. R407F sits below that threshold, so existing systems can still be topped up and repaired with it. It remains an HFC inside the quota phase-down, however, and the rules on new equipment mean it is rarely specified for new installations. Recovery, labelling and service records apply exactly as for any other F-gas.
Our R407F stock is exhausted for now. Many commercial systems are moved to R448A or R449A, both A1 blends with a lower GWP. Their pressures, glide and mass flow differ from R407F, so treat any change as a documented retrofit with the equipment maker's approval. A system still running on its original charge can be serviced with regenerated R404A where the reclaimed-gas exception in Article 13 applies. Further options are grouped on our refrigeration gas page.
R407F is listed as a single 10 kg returnable cylinder. One cylinder equals 18.25 t CO2e (1825 x 10 kg / 1000), the figure to enter in the equipment log and to compare with the system label. If you will need several cylinders once stock is back, contact us in advance. Empty cylinders return to our Riga warehouse and are refilled at the Latvian service centre.
Orders ship from Fréjus or Riga to all 27 EU member states, normally in 2-6 working days outside France and 1-4 working days within France. Pallets travel by freight with a confirmed date. At checkout you state your basis for buying: certified technician, company employing certified staff, or resale. You also give the certificate number and issuing country under Regulation (EU) 2024/573 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2067. We release an R407F order only after that check. The R407F price appears ex VAT, and EU companies with a valid VAT number buy it under reverse charge. UK buyers can request a quotation for R407F instead.
No. R407F is a retrofit refrigerant for existing R404A and R507 systems, and every conversion needs checks. Review compressor discharge temperature, expansion valve sizing and superheat, pressure switches, oil type and the equipment maker's instructions. Charge it as liquid, relabel the system with the new refrigerant and record the charge in the equipment log.
Yes, in existing equipment. The servicing ban in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2024/573 targets gases with a GWP of 2,500 or more, and R407F has an AR4 GWP of 1825. Work must still be done by certified personnel, with recovery and records kept. Whether a new R407F system may be placed on the market is a separate question under the equipment rules.
No. R407F is classified A1: lower toxicity and no flame propagation in the standard test. That does not make it harmless. It displaces oxygen in confined spaces, liquid contact causes frostbite and heating produces hazardous decomposition products. Wear eye protection and gloves, keep cylinders upright and secured, and never heat a cylinder with a flame.
Many commercial refrigeration systems are converted to R448A or R449A, which are A1 blends with a lower GWP. Neither is an automatic swap, because pressures, glide and discharge temperatures differ, so check with the equipment manufacturer first. If the system still runs on R404A, regenerated R404A may be used under the reclaimed-gas exception.
A full 10 kg cylinder of R407F equals 18.25 tonnes CO2e, calculated as GWP 1825 x 10 kg / 1000. Record the CO2e figure alongside the kilograms when you log the quantity added to a system, because F-gas labels and the EU quota system both express quantities in CO2 equivalent.
