EXTREME WHITE ULTRA
Advanced Leak Stop for Refrigeration Systems Using R600 and R290 Refrigerants
EXTREME WHITE ULTRA is the latest evolution of the Extreme White leak stop, formulated specifically for refrigeration systems running on R600 (Isobutane) and R290 (Propane). Its enhanced particle technology allows technicians to use only half the volume of the previous formula while delivering superior performance in permanently sealing micro leaks in both rubber and metal system components.
Why Choose EXTREME WHITE ULTRA?
- Tailored for R600 and R290: Engineered and extensively tested for modern refrigeration systems using natural refrigerants R600 and R290, which are popular in environmentally conscious markets, including Southern Africa.
- Polymer-Free Formula: The mechanical action works by affinity without chemical reactions, ensuring no negative impact on system components. It does not react with oxygen or moisture, preserving system integrity.

- System-Friendly: Particles are designed to mimic lubricants and refrigerants, avoiding blockage in moisture filters and accumulation in expansion valves.
- Prevention and Repair: Ideal for permanent leak repair and preventive maintenance to avoid micro leaks throughout the lifespan of the system.
- Compatible with Low-Viscosity Lubricants: Developed to work with modern compressors using very low viscosity oils without altering lubricant performance.
Application Tips
EXTREME WHITE ULTRA is injected into the refrigeration system, where it actively works while the system operates. Leak repair time depends on the size and shape of the leak, but protection continues consistently throughout system life.
- The system must be running while injecting EXTREME WHITE ULTRA.
- If you simply observed a decrease in terms of Refrigerant charge, restore the correct amount. Otherwise if the system has lost a lot of gas, recover the remaining gas in the recovery station, perform a vacuum.
- If the system keeps the vacuum for at least 5 minutes, the loss can be considered a “micro” one and you can go on with the operation.
- Fully recharge the Refrigerant Gas.
- In both conditions, turn on the system normally at this point, connect 1/4 SAE Adapter to the low pressure service port, then connect the EXTREME WHITE ULTRA syringe and steadily deliver the product into the system.
- Run the system normally. Check after an hour.
EXTREME WHITE ULTRA does not present any danger to the operator, but it is advisable to let qualified personnel intervene on the system.
