R-32 (difluoromethane) is a low-GWP, energy-efficient HFC refrigerant increasingly used in new air conditioning and heat pump systems. Unlike blends such as R-410A (where it is a key component), it is a single-component refrigerant, simplifying handling and recycling. Though mildly flammable, its environmental and performance benefits make it a preferred choice for modern systems.
