IMPORTANT: Refrigerant is hygroscopic and must therefore be stored in suitable containers that are sealed airtight!
refrigerant oil is non-combustible and non-explosive at normal temperatures. Nevertheless, the following points must be observed:
  • Do not store in the vicinity of flames, heat sources or strongly oxidizing materials
  • Suitable extinguishants are carbon dioxide (CO2 ) dry extinguishant and foam

Recycling: 

Catch and dispose of emerging refrigerant oil.

Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.

Absorb escaping refrigerant oil with fluid-binding material.

Notify the relevant authorities if larger amounts of refrigerant are discharged into aboveground water supplies, drainage systems or subsoil.
