HVAC Industry Shifts to A2L Refrigerants

In 2025, the HVAC industry will shift as manufacturers transition to A2L refrigerants, driven by the need for more environmentally friendly options. Unlike previous standards with refrigerants like R-22 and R-410A, technicians will now work with multiple A2L refrigerants, including R-32 and R-454B, reflecting the industry's move towards sustainability and regulatory compliance.

A2L Refrigerant Benefits


RectorSeal Ensures Compatibility

At RectorSeal, we ensure A2L compatibility through dedicated chemical compatibility testing to verify our products work seamlessly with the new refrigerants. Our engineering team rigorously tests each product under various conditions to confirm reliable performance with A2L systems. Since A2L refrigerants have similar miscibility and viscosity characteristics to R-410A, the risk of chemical incompatibility is low, further enhancing product reliability and safety.

Acid-Away®


Compressor Burnout Acid Neutralizer

Designed to neutralize acid buildup in refrigeration systems, enhancing their longevity and efficiency.

AC Leak Freeze®


Leak Sealants

AC Leak Freeze permanently seals refrigerant leaks in HVAC systems, activating upon contact with escaping gas to form a chemical weld without clogging.

Turbo-KleenTM


A/C System Flush

Effective for cleaning HVAC systems using A2L refrigerants. It helps maintain system cleanliness and efficiency without adversely affecting the refrigerant or system components.

FlaretiteTM


Gas Seals

Engineered to withstand the specific pressures and chemical properties of A2L refrigerants, ensuring durable and safe connections in HVAC systems.
