R-508BTrifluoromethane/Hexafluoroethane azeotrope

Azeotropic blend (R23/R116) for ultra-low-temperature cascade systems — the standard for -80°C medical freezers. The engine resolves it live in a verified window around -50/-10 °C; CoolProp's mixture model does not converge at the coldest -80 °C states, so use R-1150 (the modern replacement) for those.
