Forane 22 – R22 Refrigerant is an HCFC that can be used for cooling and refrigeration purposes. It works well in medium to low temperature systems, such as freezers, chillers, or air conditioners. It can also be mixed with other refrigerants to create blends for different applications.
Forane® 22 refrigerant (R-22) is the versatile solution for all your cooling and refrigeration needs. Whether you need it for your home, office, or vehicle, Forane® 22 can handle any temperature and climate. But hurry, Forane® 22 is an HCFC and will no longer be produced or imported after January 1, 2020, as per the Montreal Protocol. You can still buy and use Forane® 22 for your existing R-22 equipment after this date, but supplies are limited. Don’t miss this chance to stock up on Forane® 22, the reliable and efficient refrigerant that works for you. You can also choose Forane® 427A – The EASY RETROFITTM, as a convenient alternative for your R-22 installations.
