WILMINGTON, Del. — DuPont Refrigerants is asking the HVACR industry to be aware of the use of any potential counterfeit and illegally imported refrigerant products, with special attention paid to R-22 and R-438A.
“There have been a number of indications in the marketplace that illegal imports are on the rise as well as illegally imported China-produced R-438A,” said Jim Bachman, North American sales and marketing manager, DuPont Refrigerants. “We encourage vigilance and smart procurement practices. It is more important than ever to know who you’re buying from.”
