R218 refrigerant (octafluoropropane, C3F8) is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable inert gas. Octafluoropropane has a melting point of-183.0 ℃ and a boiling point of-36.7 ℃, making it difficult to dissolve in water. Electronic grade high-purity octafluoropropane is used in semiconductor device manufacturing, and the mixture gas with oxygen can be used as a plasma etching gas.
In the semiconductor industry, octafluoropropane is used as a plasma etching material; in medicine, octafluoropropane can be used as fillers and ultrasound contrast agents after vitreoretinal surgery; octafluoropropane can also be used to make refrigeration mixtures.

R218 Octafluoropropane 30kg is a refrigerant/chemical product. It is widely used in refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators, freezers, water dispensers, automotive air conditioners, central air conditioning, dehumidifiers, cold storage and commercial refrigeration, as well as in aerosol propellants, blowing agents, fire-extinguishing and cleaning applications. See the product page for details.
R218 Octafluoropropane 30kg is used as a common working fluid in refrigeration, air-conditioning and industrial applications. When replacing or retrofitting a system, qualified personnel should perform the work, paying attention to system compatibility and lubricant matching, and following relevant safety standards.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from fire, heat sources and direct sunlight. Cylinders should be placed upright and protected from falling. Transport according to regulations for high-pressure gases or hazardous chemicals, with careful handling to avoid damage to cylinders and valves.
Ensure adequate ventilation at the workplace. Avoid direct skin contact with liquid refrigerant (risk of frostbite). Keep away from open flames and high heat. Use dedicated tools and protective equipment. In case of leakage, evacuate, ventilate and contact professionals.
The exact Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) are listed in the Physical Properties table on the product page. Select refrigerants considering energy efficiency, safety and environmental impact.
Multiple package sizes are available (e.g., cylinders, drum or ton packages - see product page). Bulk orders are supported. Contact sales for the latest quote and lead time.
