Air Oxygen Argon Carbon Dioxide Nitrous Oxide Sulfur Dioxide Ethylene Propylene

Production of R11 or CFC-11 was halted by the clean air act on January 1, 1996 Production of R12 or CFC-12 (Freon) was halted by the clean air act on January 1, 1996

2)

3) R22 or HCFC-22 is a single component HCFC refrigerant with low ozone depletion potential. It has long been used in a variety of air-conditioning and refrigeration applications in a variety of markets, including appliance, construction, food processing, and supermarkets
4)

Production of R113 or CFC-113 was halted by the clean air act on January 1, 1996

5)

R123 or HCFC-123 is a replacement for R11 in chillers and is providing this new refrigerant to chiller manufacturers for use in new and existing chillers
6)

Refrigerant R134a or HFC-134a is a commercially available hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant for use as a long-term replacement for R-12 in new equipment and for retrofitting medium temperature CFC-12 systems

7)

Production of R-500 was halted by the clean air act on January 1, 1996.
