Floc in refrigeration oil is wax that has separated out from oil containing parathene.
Floc point, also known as Freon floc point, is used to measure the performance and consistency of refrigeration oils. In order for the refrigeration system to function properly, the oil used should be compatible. Wax can separate when an oil solution is cooled with Freon. Once the wax is separated it is called flocculation and that is the reason it is called floc point.
Hydraulic oils are substances that are hot, while refrigeration properties are cold.

What is the Material compatibility in relation to refrigeration oils?
These oils must resist to high temperatures and to oxidation.

The oils commonly used with HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigeration applications are primarily polyol ester (POE) oils and alkylbenzene oils. These synthetic oils are preferred due to their compatibility with HFC-134a and ability to maintain proper lubrication at various temperatures. POE oils are particularly popular because they have good solubility with HFC-134a and provide excellent thermal stability.
There are different types of refrigerant oils. Refrigerants such as R22 and R12 usually use mineral oil. But some of blended refrigerants like R410A can sometimes use a poly oil. These oils can not be blended together. So a system that already has a refrigerant with mineral oil must be charged with refrigerants with the same oil.
No, floc is not dangerous if consumed in small amounts. It is commonly used in water purification processes and is generally considered safe. However, ingesting large amounts of floc could potentially cause stomach discomfort.
(Note : "floc" is the flakes that come out of colloidal suspension of pool chemicals.) You need to vacuum the floc from the bottom. However if you can't set your pool to waste, you can disconnect the pump hose from the pool and run it normally.
It's ability to operate and perform in a stable manner in an environment consisting of other materials such as rubber seals or gaskets and different metals and coatings within the refrigeration system without any chemical reactions or elastomer breakdown occurring when operating within varying temperatures differentials.
