JAL and Toppan develop new refrigerant

ntttttttttttt

Japan Airlines (JAL) and Toppan Forms Co Ltd have successfully developed a high-functional refrigerant, dubbed MechaCool, for in-flight beverage services. MechaCool was introduced on JAL flights between Narita and Honolulu from Monday. The airline plans to gradually extend the use of this new refrigerant to other flights.

MechaCool is a cold storage solution utilizing the high-functional refrigerant technology developed by TOPPANFORMS, which can replace the conventional use of dry ice. It is easy to use, maintains cool storage for long hours and controls the temperature efficiently. Its innovative design and reusability also helps to significantly reduce costs, and can be handled safely without concerns about low temperature burn. The refrigerant also can be re-used repeatedly without releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere.
