Refrigerant Gas R-22 (CAS 75-45-6) continues to be a compound of interest for various industries, not only for its historical significance in air conditioning but also for its vital role in chemical manufacturing. As a leading chemical producer, we at NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offer insights into the applications and availability of R-22, addressing the needs of businesses that still rely on this compound.

R-22: A Dual-Purpose Chemical Compound

Historically, R-22 was the standard refrigerant in many residential, commercial, and industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Its effectiveness in heat transfer made it a popular choice. However, due to its ozone-depleting properties, its production and use in new HVAC equipment have been phased out globally. Despite this phase-out, R-22 remains important in specific industrial contexts:

  • Chemical Intermediate: R-22 serves as a crucial raw material in the synthesis of other chemicals, most notably Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a high-performance fluoropolymer used in non-stick coatings, seals, and insulation. It is also an intermediate in the production of Halon 1211.
  • Servicing Existing Systems: For older, still functional HVAC systems that were manufactured before the ban, R-22 is still needed for servicing. However, the supply is limited to recovered, recycled, or reclaimed R-22, making it increasingly expensive.

Availability and Sourcing Strategies for Businesses

For businesses requiring R-22 for their manufacturing processes, securing a consistent and high-quality supply is essential. China is a major global supplier of chemical products, and reliable manufacturers are key to obtaining R-22 that meets required purity standards (typically 99.9% or higher for industrial use). NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to being a dependable source for industrial-grade R-22. We ensure strict quality control, offering products with minimal moisture and acidity, critical for chemical synthesis.

Pricing and Procurement Considerations

When looking to buy R-22 refrigerant, businesses should be aware that pricing is influenced by the diminishing global supply and the cost of reclamation processes for service applications. For industrial procurement, working directly with manufacturers offers the best opportunity for competitive pricing and assured quality. We encourage potential clients to contact us for quotes on R-22, whether for bulk purchase or specific industrial needs. Understanding your exact requirements, such as volume and purity specifications, will help us provide the most accurate and beneficial pricing.

As regulations evolve, staying informed and partnering with a knowledgeable chemical supplier ensures that your business operations can continue efficiently, whether for existing equipment servicing or specialized industrial applications. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is your trusted partner for high-quality chemical solutions.
