Hi,

Are the sales of _all_ refrigerants in the US restricted, or only the eco-nasty ones?

At least as of a couple years ago, most industrial supply catalogs made it clear that the sale of CFC's and HFC's(?) were restricted, but the implication was that the sale of other refrigerants was not restricted. I've pointed this out to a Grainger salesperson, which seemed to perplex him. Limited experience with counter salespeople meets with refusal to sell any materials: but it's not clear to me if this is according to law, or more a blanket CYA policy.

What's the latest law?
