Product details
Product Overview:
Choose SEASON R22 for servicing equipment originally designed to operate with R22 (HCFC-22) refrigerant. Chemically identified as chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF2), this refrigerant is supplied with purity greater than 99.9% in a larger 13.6 kg (30 lbs) cylinder suitable for professional and high-volume service needs.
Safety is critical: R22 is a compressed gas (gas under pressure) and must be handled, stored, and transported properly. High concentrations can act as an asphyxiant by displacing oxygen, so always use in well-ventilated areas and follow all label and SDS guidance.
Regulatory note: R22 is an ozone-depleting substance and is regulated in many markets, with rules varying by country and application.

FAQs
- What is R22?
R22 is HCFC-22, also called chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF2), used in many older AC and refrigeration systems. - What are the identifiers for this product?
CAS 75-45-6 and UN 1018. - What is the net weight of this SEASON R22 cylinder?
13.6 kg (30 lbs). - What purity is SEASON R22?
Listed as >99.9% purity. - Is R22 hazardous?
Yes. It is a gas under pressure, and high concentrations can be hazardous if inhaled due to oxygen displacement. - Is R22 regulated?
In many countries it is regulated because it is an ozone-depleting substance, and rules can vary by location and use case.
