Which gaskets are recommended for Refrigerants?
A number of new refrigerants have been introduced in an effort to protect the environment. CFC-type refrigerants, believed to be responsible for depleting the ozone layer, are being phased out and replaced by HCFCs and HFCs. Refer to the Chemical Resistance chart in the Engineered Gasketing catalog for a complete listing of refrigerants. The compatibility of the lubricants used with these refrigerants is rarely an issue since the lubricants are a small percentage of the fluid makeup.
