R-22 is Going Away
In 2010, U.S. R-22 demand will exceed allowed virgin R-22 supply by 27.5 million pounds. This projection is based upon the latest EPA demand projections and recent proposed allowance rule. The next significant hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) stepdown will occur on January 1, 2010, as a result of the more aggressive phasedown of HCFCs agreed to under the Montreal Protocol.
» R-22 Outlook
Retrofitting to HFC refrigerants, such as ISCEON®, and away from R-22 puts your business in a position to avoid expected R-22 supply shortages, pricing volatility and labor shortages, and can even provide you with a low-cost supply of R-22.
R-22 Price May Be Volatile
Since January of 2003, the price of R-22 in the U.S. market has increased by more than 500%, and the supply reductions created by ongoing regulations are likely to continue to influence R-22 price in the future.
Recovered or Reclaimed R-22 can be used to offset future supply and price volatility
After retrofitting, recovered or reclaimed R-22 can be re-used to offset future R-22 service refrigerant costs.
