Dehon Service a annoncé l'adjonction du Forane 508B à sa gamme de produits comme substitut au R-503 pour la réfrigération à températures très basses utilisée dans les laboratoires. Fabriqué par Elf-Atochem, Forane 508B est un mélange frigorigène composé de HFC-23 et de FC-116. Ce substitut a une pression de condensation, une pression d'évaporation et un taux de compression plus élevés que ceux du R-503 (mélange de HFC-23 et de CFC-13). 2, record 4, French, - frigorig%C3%A8ne%20503
