- Many refrigerants, including R-401A (made
by DuPont), R-401B (DuPont), R-409A (Elf Atochem), Care 30 (Calor
Gas), Adak-29/Adak-12 (TACIP Int'l), MT-31 (Millenia Tech), and
ES-12R (Intervest), have not been submitted for review in motor
vehicle air conditioning, and it is therefore illegal to use these
refrigerants in such systems as an alternative to CFC-12.
- See text for details on legality of use
according to status
- Acceptable Subject to Use Conditions
regarding fittings, labeling, no drop-in, and compressor shutoff
switches.
- Unacceptable;
illegal for use as a CFC-12 substitute in motor vehicle air
conditioners
- Although some blends contain flammable components,
all blends that are Acceptable Subject to Use Conditions are nonflammable
as blended.
- Freezone contains 2% of a lubricant
- HCFC-22 content results in an additional use
condition: must be used with barrier hoses
