MINUS30-9KG+UV HyChill Minus30 R436 Type Refrigerant 9kg with UV Dye, Replacement for R12 and R134a, Formerly HR12

MINUS30-9KG+UV is a 9kg supply of HyChill Minus30, the refrigerant formerly sold as HR12. It is an R436 type gas used as a replacement for R12 and R134a, and this version has UV dye already added so leaks show up under an ultraviolet lamp. It is a trade product for licensed refrigeration and air conditioning technicians.

HyChill Minus30 as an R12 and R134a replacement

R436 type refrigerants are hydrocarbon blends, and HyChill Minus30 is used to service equipment that originally ran on R12 or R134a. Hydrocarbons are flammable, so the gas must be handled, stored and charged with that in mind, and a system should only be converted where the regulations and the equipment allow it. The pre-mixed UV dye lets a technician track down a slow leak after charging with a UV torch and glasses, with no separate dye injection needed. Always read the label and safety data sheet before use.

Handling and storage

Refrigerant must only be handled by a technician holding the appropriate refrigerant handling licence. Store the cylinder upright in a cool, ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources, and restrain it during transport. Use equipment rated for hydrocarbon refrigerants, evacuate and leak test correctly, and label any converted system clearly so the next technician knows what gas is inside.

Questions about this part

Can I put this in my car or home air conditioner?

Not yourself. Charging any refrigerant requires a licensed technician, and converting a system to a hydrocarbon gas comes with rules that depend on where you are and the type of equipment. Speak with a licensed refrigeration or automotive air conditioning technician about whether Minus30 suits your system.
