Freon™ 22 (R-22) hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) has been used for decades as the most common choice for air conditioning (AC) and commercial refrigeration in medium to low temperatures due to its reliability.
Global regulations, including the Montreal Protocol, required the phase-out of HCFC products in favor of more environmentally sustainable options that do not deplete the ozone layer. Chemical companies focused on developing solutions to ease the transition for the refrigeration industry.
